Ardaas, Condolences for Mai Harinder Kaur Now Bereaved Widow of Simon McCoy

Dear Mai Ji

I have been away for a while and am deeply saddened to learn of your loss

I wanted to share this with you:

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37031
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy,
But He beholds the light, and whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy

(Wordsworth)

Please accept my condolences for the loss of your husband. I never met him, but I imagine he was a great guy if he was anything like you. It never seems fair when people we are close to die. I am at a loss for words.

Respected Mai Ji... We stand with you in these moments... May his soul rest in peace, and you stay in Charhdee Kala jio

In constant prayers for you Mai Ji.

To all of you who have so kindly wished me condolences, I thank you. This means more to you than I can say.

The funeral was finally held yesterday and so the new chapter can begin for me. He was buried, as per his wishes. It was horrible. I was struck by how much more humane our way is for the survivors.

For him, I pray that he is at peace now, the peace that eluded him in this life and that Waheguru grant him rebirth into a good, strong, understanding Gursikh family where the good soul that he is can blossom and grow.

There is a song that I use as my way of saying "Goodbye and Godspeed." It was recorded first in 1965 by the group the Seekers, this is a rerecording many years after by their lead singer, the incredible Judith Durham, in 2009.

Words are never enough.....never enough.
