CONFRONTING A
STARK REALITY
Confronting the death of a friend is occasion for much grief and soul searching. As Antoine De Saint-Exupery lamented, “On the day of a burial there is no perspective - for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was - to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.”
Time is a great healer, although the place inside where we grieve remains. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA, we are people with big hearts who understand loss. We also offer customized plans to meet every funeral need. You can visit Bright View Cemetery which is located just outside Warrenton. Call us at 540-347-3431. “A friend's only gift is himself”
-George Santayana
