I found this quote:
The deep pain that is felt at the death of every friendly soul arises from the feeling that there is in every individual something which is inexpressible, peculiar to him alone, and is, therefore, absolutely and irretrievably lost.
~Arthur Schopenhauer
It seems to sum it up. While we grieve for those lives lost, we can treasure those lives that we have with us now. I am not a praying person... I believe that every religion has its benefit and its detriment, and I believe that we all should have the choice as to what to practice, and what to preach. I'll leave it with these thoughts...
We acquire the strength we have overcome. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. ~John Taylor
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies. ~Erich Fromm
and one of my favorites...
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
The Declaration of Arbroath
