All is well.

We rest in the knowing that our loved one is safe.

By design, life has come full circle, as the seasons proclaim.

Give thanks for a life well-lived.

        

All is well.

We focus on knowing what is truly important:

Love is all there is.

The memories of our loved one comfort our hearts.

Give thanks for a life well-lived.

 

All is well.

We reflect on the similarities of death and birth,  

        facing the unknown with faith and courage,

        letting go of fear,

trusting what is to come.

Give thanks for a life well-lived.

 

All is well.

We find growth in leave-taking:

        remembering stories,

        sensing the goodness in each other

        understanding a deeper meaning of life

Every angle of the sunset offers beauty.

Give thanks for a life well-lived.

 

All is well.

Letting go of how we think things should be 

allows inner peace to surround our hearts.

A much greater power knows our loved one.

No regrets, only acceptance.

Give thanks for a life well-lived.
