A woman, full of sorrow and despair, came to Abdu'l-Baha: "I pray you remove my doubt, and give me consolation, I have lost my beloved husband."
The Master answered her:
"If you have a bed of lilies-of-the-valley that you love and tenderly care for, they cannot see you, nor can they understand your care, nevertheless, because of that tender care, they flourish.
So it is with your husband. You cannot see him, but his loving influence surrounds you, cares for you, watches over you. They, who have passed into the Divine Garden, pray for us there, as we pray for them here."

Wow!!! Thanks Michelle-- I never read that before--- so comforting,, funny how even though we know a truth,, we still need to hear it over and over, for confirmation-- kind of like you have to keep telling the people you love that you love them-- love to you
I keep coming back here for another whiff--so fragrant and beautiful---
I agree with Nannan, that was beautiful and very comforting. My thoughts are with you always, and I love you and your family very much.

Mikki I have a confession to make. I don't know how to deal with sorrow. So I joke a lot, and try to be humorous...but believe me, deep in my heart there is great sorrow.
I have no words of comfort. I cannot make a touching and serious blog.
I have to use to humour, which is, unfortuneatley, my sense of humour, to make it through the sadness and sense of loss that I feel.
I love you
Mommy xxxxx ooooo xxxxx
