In the calmth of the harbour where boats floated peacefully, rests a story of love, loss and courage.
This is the story of a man, whose life became entwined with the calm breeze and waves that held the memories of his beloved wife.
His wife, a gentle soul lost in the storm of Alzheimer's, found her way to peace after a seven-year ‘dance’ with the End of Life Clinic. Only 58 years young, she was carried by the love of her husband and the warm presence of many friends.
Her farewell was not a sad departure, but rather an event filled with warmth and love.
She directed her own funeral like an adept captain guiding her ship to the eternal horizon. Photographs that captured her life's paths
were woven into a vivid tapestry, and the melodies of her life were carefully selected as the soundtrack of her final journey.
In the days before her departure, words found comfort on everyone's lips and the warmth of memories painted a smile on everyone’s face. The hugs and gentle kisses of a friends pony, offered his wife a last refuge, a moment of peace in the last weeks of her life.
As dusk fell, the bed was prepared in the living room, like an altar of ffarewell and loving transition. And so she slipped away the next morning, embraced by the sea of love that surrounded her until the last breath of wind.
Her husband, caught in a storm of emotions, found peace in conversations and the comfort of friends' presence.
A heart-shaped floral arrangement and words, woven like a soft blanket, offered support to everyone during her funeral.
Today, like the wings of a butterfly dancing in the wind, loved ones feel the closeness of this loving woman. Her love weaves through their lives, like an invisible thread connecting them to the harbour of memories.
And as the sun sets, they will continue to cherish her, talk and love, in tribute to the woman who coloured the waves of their lives.
Love Audrey
