I Will Not Forget You (From "Testament of Youth")


Today I spent half an hour , sat still and silent next to a hospital bed.
The door was open so I could see people stepping quietly by
This music was playing
I think I will always remember it.

    So lovely and serene. Were you perhaps holding the hand of the person in the hospital bed?

    Hugs!

    An important part of your job

  10. There's a gentle type of
    companionship felt when
    we quietly just love one near their end here and
    entrance to a blessed
    eternity,-Mary

  12. I found the song heartbreaking. Maybe my loss is still too raw. I hope others found it comforting.

  18. We should all make a playlist of the music we would like to have played, if/when we are unable to tell the world what music to play. This is glorious.

    Beautiful and moving; it has made me quite emotional. The compassion required to just sit in silence and wait for a soul to depart is one of the most wonderful gifts one can give. I hope when my time comes I have someone like you holding my hand.
