Please send your questions or comments to our office or e-mail us at: "The event of death is always astounding; our philosophy never reaches, never possesses it; we are always at the beginning of our catechism; always the definition is yet to be made. What is death?" Ralph Waldo Emerson www.BranchburgFuneralHome.com A man who had recently lost his mother after a lengthy illness was once heard to remark that it seemed the flowers had little right to bloom during the spring following his mother's death. He found little of his usual joy in the warming sun and the color and scent of the (lowers. Surely, the flowers had done little to diminish themselves in his eyes.

The trouble lay in his perception. This same feeling is noted in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "There is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. The sky is less grand as it sets down over less worth in the population." Nature continues its cycle of growth each spring and summer regardless of what transpires in our lives. The death of a loved one is one of life's greatest challenges. Such a loss can be keenest during the holiday season.
