I wish I could participate in such a powerful, healing service. It seems that broken hearts feel even more broken in this "season of light." Thank you for this gift.Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1166391977337337472006-12-17T16:46:00.000-05:002006-12-17T16:46:00.000-05:00Dear Elizabeth+This is the best concept I have see...Dear Elizabeth+<BR/><BR/>This is the best concept I have seen for those of us who have suffered the loss of anyone important in our lives and for those who are too many to count, who die each day in this world.<BR/><BR/>I think you are right in saying that the second Christmas without the loved one we have lost is harder than the first. I cared for and lived with my mother for 15 years until her death a year ago May 5th.<BR/><BR/>This year however is harder; I miss her so very much; we were so much like each other and enjoyed much of the same things. I held her as she died and saw the light of the glory of heaven reflected in her eyes...<BR/><BR/>I wish you and yours peace as you move through this Advent season...I have forwarded your article to my priest and her associate rector and asked them to consider such a service in the coming years to help those of us who need this liturgy so very much.<BR/><BR/>Love and blessings,<BR/><BR/>Catherine+Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267544451078638468noreply@blogger.com
