in the darkness of mere being."

that you should leave with regret?
There are better things ahead
than any we leave behind."
- C.S. Lewis
"Brothers, we do not want you
to be ignorant about those who fall asleep,
or to grieve like the rest of men,
who have no hope.
We believe that Jesus died and rose again
and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who have fallen asleep in him."
- 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14 NIV
"'I will ransom them from the power of the grave;
I will redeem them from death.'"

their bodies will rise.
You who dwell in the dust,
wake up and shout for joy."

Where, O death, is your sting?'"
