Maureen,
So many words can be said then still not enough. I found this peom, to have been my strenghth for the time ahead.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day.
Be still like dessert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this I promise, I make.You will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
By Lamaretta Simons.
