Cradled in love

There are moments that linger in our hearts like delicate whispers

Fragments of time that etch themselves into the deepest recesses of our souls

Forever carrying the essence of our existence

Fleeting moments that seem so insignificant

Small ripples on the surface of a pond

—–

Like, for instance, a childhood memory

—–

A weary child finds rest amidst a family gathering

As the child succumbs to slumber

The laughter of loved ones seep into their innocent dreamscape

A memory that stays with them forever

One that as a collective, a lot of us seem to share

—–

I hope that when our time comes, our transition mirrors this memory

—–

I hope death is like being carried to your bedroom

Cradled in the arms of unseen forces

Tenderly guiding us towards the next chapter of our existence

—–

The laughter and love from the next room continue to reverberate through the corridors of eternity

As the veil between life and death begins to lift

May our hearts be filled with a bittersweet longing

A yearning for the echoes of laughter that have guided us thus far

But keeping with us, the feeling of being safe

Loved and surrounded by people who care about us

—–

May we approach this transition not with fear

But with the understanding that we are all intricately connected to the laughter

The tears

The collective human experience

—–

In death, may we find not an end, but a new beginning

Where the laughter of our loved ones becomes the eternal soundtrack to our souls

May we find solace in the realisation that our journey continues beyond the boundaries of this earthly existence

—–

In the echoes of laughter from the next room

May we find the strength to face the uncertainties

To embrace the beauty of life and death as one
