During this month of November many candles are lit in memory of our loved ones who have died. Without our loved one who has passed it is very much darkness. Lighting a candle in a sense gives us hope, a way of reaching out, a way of focussing on the present moment.

Thought on Saturday – November – 06/11/2021
It is always difficult to understand death or make sense of the loss of a loved one through death. We want our loved ones with us always and yet we know that just as we are born we must also die. Last Tuesday is traditionally known as All Souls Day and is a day to pause, reflect and pray for those who have died particularly our nearest and dearest.
Many people will visit a cemetery during this month of November. It is not an empty or meaningless task. It’s always good to remember those who have died. Our belief is that death is not an end but a beginning for the soul or spirit of the person who has died. Our belief is that our loved ones who have died are still near us but not physically with us. They now live in eternal light and love.
Trying to put this into words is never easy and all we can humbly do is to try. The only words that really matter today are to our loved ones who have died. Some of these words might be: we still miss you, thank you for so many memories, you are remembered with love today, you will never be forgotten and may you rest in peace. Amen
