I just got back, have to ring around and organise things. Thanks, everyone. I truly appreciate it. Meanwhile, I have a eulogy to write. Not sure when I'll be back, guys, but it shouldn't be too long.

Sorry to hear about your loss.  Best wishes to you and your family in a very tough time.

I'm so sorry, Ed. (I hope you don't mind, but a callsign just seems innappropriate at a time like this.) But she's most likely in a better place than this world can offer. My sincerest sympathy and  condolences.

I am very sorry to hear that.  It's hard to find the right words in these situations, but maybe this will help, it's what my father told me when i lost my first fiance.....

Mourn your loss, not her life.  And remember her as she was, not as she is.  That way, you remember how she touched your life, and through the lessons learned, she lives on in you.

I'm truly sorry that that's the best i can do for a kind word.  I hope that you family finds solace in this time of need.

Things are going okay right now. Over the past 24 hours, most of us have reconciled ourselves to the whole event - though we haven't (and won't for at least a couple of weeks) gotten used to the whole idea of her not being around now. I had some mates over last night to mourn with us - it was a very joyful time.

The funeral is on Friday morning.

This is from my sermon notes today.  You know it, of course, Eddie, but such truths are always good to hear in times like this:

   We do not now know fully what our mode of existence will be like in the New Jerusalem, but nevertheless God has revealed to us some knowledge about it.  The keystone of our Christian hope is, of course, the promised resurrection from death.  The Apostle’s Creed summarises the eschatological vision with a succinct reference to “the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting,” while the Nicene Creed uses almost the same wording.  This central point is the key to all of creation’s redemption, Romans 8 tells us, and the desire of our inmost beings.  We groan inwardly, waiting for the day when Jesus will return, when we will be raised to new life, imperishable and immortal, to inherit the kingdom of God so that “They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”  This will be the end of the tyranny of death and the fear of nothingness that gnaws at the human heart.  At its most fundamental level, the gospel offers us hope because it offers us life with our God and Father in a relationship that is never to be broken again by the powers of death.

Blessings, comfort and joy, my friend.  God is with you.
