"Death has been visiting my life a lot in this past year. During those times,
I have frequently heard Mary Elizabeth Frye's well-known poem, 'Do No Stand At
My Grave and Weep.' This morning as I was lolling abed, I began naming my
departed-beloveds in my mind, calling their sweet faces to mind and silently
speaking their names one by one. This is one of the ways I honor them and deal
with their absence. In the midst of that familiar ritual, I 'heard' a distinct
voice speaking into my mind. This is what it said..." Barbara McAfee shares
more in this heartfelt piece, that includes her song, "Oh For Crying Out
Loud."
