Re: Author Unknown- Do not stand by my grave and weep

i sent that poem to three people i knew whose loved ones had died

the first person was a teenager whose father just inexplicably passed away. i felt sooo sorry for him and sad too. i didn't know what else to do but i had seen that poem in a book i read where a snow explorer loses his mom. i recopied it by hand and gave it to him.

i asked him if he had read it and he said that he had and also his sister read it as well and he said that it really had a very calming effect on him and his sister and you could tell that it really did something for him.. i'm really glad someone wrote that. i just wonder who

it is a really profound but powerful poem
so calming
so consoling

its really a miracle of a poem Tweet
