Lit by Aisling 9th October 2023
Remembering our lovely Mumma on the second anniversary of her death. As Long As There Is Love, There Will Be Grief The grief of time passing, of life moving on half-finished, of empty spaces that were once bursting with the laughter and energy of people we loved. As long as there is love there will be grief because grief is love's natural continuation. It shows up in the aisles of stores we once frequented, in the whiff of cologne we get two years after they've been gone. Grief is a giant neon sign, protruding through everything, pointing everywhere, broadcasting loudly, “love was here.” In the finer print, quietly, "love still is."
This candle went out on 23rd October 2023.
