"No one ever knows exactly what to say
When this kind of loss occurs
We struggle to find just the right words
To soothe when such pain endures
Perhaps it is enough to say,
?I love you? or ?I am here?, as well
Perhaps we can be an attentive ear,
For a special story you long to tell.
Perhaps there is nothing to say,
Maybe a gesture?s the thing?
A hug, a shared cry, or silence?
For a healing that time WILL bring.
Whatever is the best thing to do or say
Consider them said and done right now
Know that we have you all in our hearts
On every day, in every way we know how.
With love and thoughts of healing peace & comfort forever,
Your friends and extended family at St. Mary?s Perioperative Services, Tucson, AZ"
