Bereavement
26/02/2008 by Aileen.
I keep thinking about Mass on Sunday. The man in the pew in front of me had lost his wife about three weeks previously. The hymns seemed so poignant, and I wondered it they helped him or just upset him. At the end of Mass he turned to me with tears in his eyes, and said I had a beautiful singing voice. (I used to but it’s on its way out now!) I can’t help wondering if I added to his grief or did I help him. I know it’s good to cry.
The words of the hymn were something like …..
The love I have for you my Lord
Is only a shadow of your love for me
Only a shadow of your love for me
Your deep abiding love.
The, the dreams we have are only a shadow of God’s dreams for us.
I’ll post the whole hymn when I get the words.
