“We mourn; we sorrow for our loved ones that go - our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents; we sorrow for them; and it is well and proper that we should moum for them and shed tears for the loss, for it is our loss; but it is their gain, for it is in the march of progress, advancement and development. It will be all right when our time comes, when we have finished our work and accomplished what the Lord required of us.” ShouldWellsChildrenSoulParentLossLordWifeProgressTearsDevelopmentSorrowHusbandGainsOur ChildrenFinishedOur TimeAccomplishedMarchLoved OnesShedAdvancementMourn Author:Francis M.

“We [me and my husband] both had our things. Seth was the artist, I was the singer. We were like "You do your thing, I'll do my thing and never the two shall meet." I think we had a healthy competition going through our childhood. But I sort of left the funny stuff to him, I said "You're the comedian, you're the jokester, you do that I'll be the more serious one."

“One thing I did have under my belt was, my mother lost her mother when she was 11. She mourned her mother her whole life and made my grandmother seem present even though I never met her. I couldn't imagine how my mom could go on but she did, she took care of us, she worked two jobs and had four children. She was such a good example of how to conduct oneself in a time of grief. When I lost my husband, I tried to model myself as much as I could on her.” ChildrenMadeTwoWholeSeemsCareJobsMotherLostGriefFourImagineOne ThingExampleMomGoes OnMetsHusbandModelsOur ChildrenOneselfMy MomWhole LifeGrandmotherMy HusbandMy GrandmotherBeltsGood ExamplesTwo Jobs Author:Patti Smith
