Well im not sure exactly who ummmm has lost but here's a little poem that that was read at a funeral of a teacher that passed away through cancer, I hope we can all take something from it.
You can shed tears that she has gone,
Or you can smile that she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
Or your heart can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she has gone,
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty
And turn your back,
Or you can do what she'd want, smile,
Open your eyes, love and go on.
