SHOWING

COMPASSION

While many people ask what they can say to make a grieving person feel better, few words can do as much to allay pain and suffering as compassionate action. The latter may consist of no more than “being there” for someone who has just lost a dear friend or loving family member. This show of support and willingness to give comfort is all that a grieving person could ask for if, indeed, many of them could put their own emotions into words. But, until such time as words are sufficient, a show of compassion may be all that is needed. As George Gordon Byron once wrote: “The dew of compassion is a tear.”

The word “compassion” literally means “to suffer with”, and sometimes all we can do is sit by the one we love and feel their sadness with them. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we work with our clients to offer just what you need in terms of services. Ask us about our various plans. For answers to your questions, call us at 347-3431.

“The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion. ” ~ Everett McKinley Dirksen
