Death is Nothing at All by Henry Scott Holland
The message of comfort contained in this little book is one of the most inspired statements of hope and belief ever written. Millions of bereaved people over the years have drawn from it serenity, acceptance and the ability to face life after the death of a loved one, and for those wishing to convey sympathy but unable to find the right words, it says it all. A consoling book offering a balance between keeping faith while remembering the bereaved as they were in life, Death is Nothing At All is a perfect giftbook for anyone who has recently lost a loved one, whether they are religious or not. One of the world's most famous poems, and a message of comfort that has inspired millions to face life after the death of a loved one, an inspired message of hope and belief. Perfectly complemented by line drawings by Paul Saunders which enhance the serenity and acceptance of the poem.
Death is nothing at all.. I have only slipped away into the next room... I am I and you are you ... whatever we were to each other that we are still. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. I am just waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner ... All is well. -- Canon Henry Scott Holland * Death Is Nothing At All *
