From karin2007/Karin (19,610) on June 10, 2011 10:56:14 AM CDT My dear friend Jacline    You are an incredible  strong and wonderful lady -  Lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about   The following popular passage comes from a sermon on death written by Scott Holland    I suppose all of us hover between two ways of regarding death, which appear to be in hopeless contradiction with each other. First there is the familiar and instinctive recoil from it as embodying the supreme and irrevocable disaster...   But, then, there is another aspect altogether which death can wear for us. It is that which first comes to us, perhaps, as we look down upon the quiet face, so cold and white, of one who has been very near and dear to us. There it lies in possession of its own secret. It knows it all. So we seem to feel. And what the face says in its sweet silence to us as a last message from one whom we loved is:   "Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.    Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.   All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again! So the face speaks. Surely while we speak there is a smile flitting over it; a smile as of gentle fun at the trick played us by seeming death..." Reply

From kb20photosig/Krish (4,432) on June 10, 2011 11:31:42 AM CDT I feel sad by the news and looking at the photo of Janine's partner (among her submissions). Such situations are inevitable to us and we must accept it broadly. I realize how great the loss is because I believe a life is much much bigger than a human being. Below is a poem by Rabindranath Tagore which I would like to echo - Death, thy servant, is at my door. He has crossed the unknown sea and brought thy call to my home. The night is dark and my heart is fearful - yet I will take up the lamp, open my gates and bow to him my welcome. It is thy messenger who stands at my door. I will worship him with folded hands, and with tears. I will worship him placing at his feet the treasure of my heart. He will go back with his errand done, leaving a dark shadow on my morning; and in my desolate home only my forlorn self will remain as my last offering to thee. Reply

From tvernuccio/Sheila (37,104) on June 10, 2011 12:05:10 PM CDT I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, Jacline, not knowing what to say. While I can't even begin to know the incredible pain and suffering you're experiencing, my heart is hurting for you. I'm so terribly sorry. I wish there was some way I could do or say something to help. Just know you're in my thoughts. *hugs* sheila Reply

From zzyzx4b/Paul (725) on June 10, 2011 12:28:28 PM CDT Communities share life, love & even death and by sharing we are all stronger and better. Jacline's story touches us and may our prayers reach her. Paul Reply

From phildeman/Phil (5,617) on June 10, 2011 12:32:47 PM CDT Jacline, I once wrote, "There are no words that can be said to ease your pain". And I will not begin to say that I understand what you feel or are going through. However, when I experienced loss of a family member and very close friends, I was able to get through the tough times by talking to family and friends. So keep an open dialogue with your sons and close friends. I reiterate Sheena's point, many people here on photoSIG care about you and are here for you. My heart goes out to you and your sons. -Phil- Reply

From ted27/Ted (41,306) on June 10, 2011 1:01:34 PM CDT I'm so sorry Jacline. I knew you had a medical problem, but was unaware your partner had a worse problem.

From michaelcastellano/Michael (71,399) on June 10, 2011 6:24:14 PM CDT Dear Jacline, Like the trains you are so fond of photographing, we and our loved ones eventually move on down the line to our appointed destination to become once again part of the universe that gave birth to us. When I was confirmed (I was raised Catholic) the priest said to me, "Dust thou art and to dust thou shall return." Star dust to be more precise, created from the massive explosion of super nova. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Michael Reply

From farradhim/Jacline (43,542) on June 10, 2011 8:07:42 PM CDT Hi to you all my dear dear friends I am really touched by all these messages you write, and I feel blessed and sheltered with so much love from you. I took care of Real as he was ailing more and more, I lost him bit by bit, each day, seeing him die a little more each day, lose his abilities, suffer more pain, but he kept his smile and good humour most of the time.....until 2 weeks ago he stopped breathing for many minutes, he lost his personality, conversations, smiles.....I found all kinds of ways to still care for him, until he started falling to the floor.........so I had the center (hospice) care for him in a nice large room with a view on the nature, they cared for him with lots of love, and I could become just his wife, not his nurse....... He had a strong heart, so it took him a long time to go.......I am releived he doesn't suffer anymore, so are my sons. Tomorrow is the funeral, he was cremated yesterday. His deepest sorrow was to not have been able to get to the garden this year, so his ashes will go to the garden. His love will remain with us forever, never to be forgotten. I see the future with hope, not with sorrow. I will remember him as he was when healthy, not in death. And I will get back to shooting and posting and critiquing and sharing with you all as soon as I can get a good (well maybe a few) night sleep hugs and love to you all Jacline Reply

Sometimes light, sometimes heavy ... whatever harsh the road and hard the rain, one day will come when we feel again the beauty of the rising sun. That day, you will again share with us your joy of Life with your beautiful and moving photos. I hope this sunny day will come soon to you. Philippe Reply

I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn. - Unknown Author Reply
