My sister Ramona passed away a few days ago, and though nothing can take away this emptiness I feel, my sisters and I found comfort, truth, and beauty in this prayer for my sister. May you find a comfort and hope of your own in these words.

They are truly beautiful words and in turn, I sincerely hope they are of comfort to you in your loss of your sister, Ramona.

I am so sorry for your loss. My son died 6 years ago today --I think I know something about what you may be feeling. I have that same prayer in a picture frame next to his ashes.

Lizann, I am truly sorry for the loss of your sister. This is never an easy time.

This poem was read at my Gramma's funeral this January. I wanted to have it, but didn't know what it was or where to find it again. I found it the most beautiful and most moving through the service. Thank you so much for this clip.

This comes from a Hopi Indian prayer:
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush, 
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, 
I did not die.
Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and the angels know of us.  Thomas Paine
