We meet here today to honor the life of Nesta/Vintersolverv. We look upon their ashes as we give thanks for her life and wish her well now that their time in this world has come to an end.
For Nesta/Vintersolverv, the journey is now beginning. But for us, there is loss, grief and pain. Every one of us here has been affected - perhaps in small ways, or perhaps in transformative ones- by Nesta/Vintersolverv.
Her life mattered to us all.It is important for us to collectively acknowledge and accept that the world has fundamentally changed with her passing.
We are all grieving. Life will not be the same - nor should it be. Together, let us open our hearts and commemorate the impact Nesta/Vintersolverv had on us.
Unweaving the Rainbow(excerpt)by Richard Dawkins
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
Nesta/Vintersolverv has safely crossed the barrier and is now free to experience another reality, along with all the joys which await there. For us, however, it is important to say this final farewell as we commit Nesta/Vintersolverv's physical form to its natural end.
Nesta/Vintersolverv, we wish you well and thank you for being a part of our lives. We honor your life and we trust you will find ever-lasting peace. We will not forget you. Go well.
The death of every one of us is in the natural order of things; it follows life as surely as summer follows spring. Let us think of the Tree of Life as a symbol. The trunk and branches of the tree represent the human race, and the leaves symbolize the individual men and women on earth – appearing one spring, flourishing for a season, and then dying.
The physical presence of Nesta/Vintersolverv has gone, but the tree remains. In fact, it is now even stronger because of her life - and death. So it shall be for all of us, in time. Let us challenge ourselves to take advantage of our limited time on this earth – let us live our lives fully, endeavoring to love one another and never faltering in the pursuit of happiness.
We have been remembering with love and gratitude a life that touched us all.I encourage you to help, support and love those who grieve most. Allow them to cry; to hurt; to smile and to remember. Grief works through our systems in its own time.
Remember to appreciate each day and to live it to the full in honor of Nesta/Vintersolverv. We often take life for granted and yet it is the greatest gift we have.
Immortality by Felix Adler
The dead are not dead if we have loved them truly. In our own lives we can give them a kind of immortality. Let us arise and take up the work they have left unfinished.
May we use the comments below as our parting words to the deceased. No nestie is not dead
