IN SICKNESS
When marrying couples vow to remain together “in sickness and in health,” their minds are usually more focused on the latter than the former. Yet, it is sickness that often proves to be more instructive. It tests strength and resolve. And, along the way, both learn much about each other and about life itself. As Herve Guibert wrote about a lengthy, and ultimately futile battle with sickness and death, “An illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that lead assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique appren- . ticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”
Sometimes, if death is a release from pain for our loved one, we can feel guilty about the relief we feel - but such feelings are to be expected. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we cater to your preferences by offering services that are designed for your needs and your family. Call us at 540347-3431.
“Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. ”
