Sit tibi terra levis – Die Erde sei dir leicht.
Solange wir da sind, ist er [der Tod] nicht da und wenn er da ist, sind wir nicht mehr.
Tod hat keine Bedeutung. Ich hab ́ mich nur ins nächste Zimmer aufgemacht. Ich bin ich und Du bist Du: Was immer wir füreinander gewesen sind, das gilt auch weiter.
Die Bande der Liebe werden mit
dem Tod nicht durchschnitten.
Gott hilft uns nicht immer am Leiden vorbei, aber er hilft uns hindurch.
Die Liebe ist stärker als der Tod
und die Schrecken des Todes.
Allein die Liebe erhält
und bewegt unser Leben.
Leben ist wie Schnee, Du kannst ihn nicht bewahren. Trost ist, dass Du da warst, Stunden, Monate, Jahre.
Von allen Seiten umgibst du mich und hältst deine Hand über mir.
Von guten Mächten wundersam geborgen, erwarten wir getrost was kommen mag. Gott ist mit uns am Abend und am Morgen und ganz gewiss an jedem neuen Tag.
