Er branden 399 kaarsen
Our dear Joan Pfann has passed away on 21 October 2015
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says She is gone.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she is gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout – There she comes!
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Een beetje houvast
Rouw is geen rechte lijn. Het kent stiltes, herinneringen, onverwachte emoties. Deze artikelen bieden zachte richting: geen pasklare antwoorden, maar herkenning, hoop en soms een glimlach in het donker.
