in view of all the massive suffering in world, i humbly light a candle for myself. i am going through a particularly rough time right now. i have recently moved and am very homesick. i have had to go through all the bureaucratic and, harder, the medical changes involved. though i am getting better medical care in the future, i am very ill at this time and have received troubling news concerning neurological damage to my optic nerve. i ask for your prayers, my dear community.

Miss Scarlett · 03-11-2011, 10:13 PM

For my Mom
May 20, 1936 - March 12, 2007

I give thanks for the blessing of life, of companionship, and of memory.
Though our loved one is beyond our sight, we do not despair,
for we sense our beloved in our hearts as a living presence.
I light this Yahrzeit candle in loving memory of Claire who has gone to her eternal resting place.
May her soul be given life everlasting
and may her memory always remain a comfort and source of inspiration.

May this candle also serve as a reminder that her soul will never be extinguished in my heart.

The light of life is a finite flame.
Like the Sabbath candles, life is kindled.
It burns, it glows, it radiates warmth and beauty,
but then it fades and is no more.
Yet we must not despair.
We are more than a memory vanishing in the darkness.
With our lives we give life.
Something of us can never die;
we move in the eternal cycle of darkness and death, of light and life.
The memorial light we now kindle is a sign of this truth.
As it burns pure and bright, so may the memory of
our dearly beloved brighten and purify our lives.
Amen

miss entycing · 03-12-2011, 03:01 PM

For my friend, who's Father has passed suddenly.
Know that i am still keeping that candle lit that i sent you.
Words cannot express the saddness in my heart for You and your family.
i'm so very sorry.

il mio amico, mi dispiace tanto per la tua perdita, so che la cura

AtLast · 03-12-2011, 03:47 PM

My candle today is for Chris and Patricia, both losing family in Japan. And for Patricia's Mom as she struggles with memories of her childhood in Japan during WWII after the atomic bomb was dropped. The details of the nuclear power plant damage and leaks are bringing up a lot for her (PTSD).

For those of us that remember Three Mile Island & Chernobyl- light candles for those that were affected and have the scars to this day. Let's hope Japanese ingenuity gets those plants fully and safely shut down! And may we think about building more of these plants!
