"When such friends part, 'tis the survivor dies." --Inscription on a tombstone in rural Vermont
These words were supplied by the husband of a 43-year-old woman who passed away back in 1849. I can only imagine what it's like to suffer like that. But many widows and widowers do know what it's like to have had such a rich earthly bond.
To everyone experiencing sorrow and loss, here's a wish for comfort at the start of the new year.
