"Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are
you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference
in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the
little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray
for me.
Let my name be ever the household
word that it always was, let it be spoken without effort, without the trace
of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is an unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because
I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well."
