WHEN ALL
SEEMS
DIMINISHED
A man who had recently lost his mother after a lengthy illness was once heard to remark that it seemed the flowers had little right to bloom during the spring following his mother’s death. He found little of his usual joy in the warming sun and the color and scent of the flowers. Surely, the flowers had done little to diminish themselves in his eyes. The trouble lay in his perception. This same feeling is noted in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson “There is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. The sky is less grand as it sets down over less worth in the population.” Everything is diminished by grief when we lose someone we love. Grief has its own life and its own logic. We need to give ourselves space and time to recover without the burden of forced cheeriness or premature optimism. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., we believe that prearfangements offer an opportunity for you and your family to have peace of mind. Call us at 347-3431. We’re the oldest business in Fauquier County. We offer plots in Bright View Cemetery, just outside of Warrenton, and memorials and monuments for all cemeteries. “The event of death is always astounding, our philosophy never reaches, never possesses it, we are always at the beginning of our catechism, always the definition is yet to be made. What is death?” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
