    Walking with Grief
    Do not hurry
    As you walk with grief; It does not help the journey
    Walk slowly, Pausing often:
    Do not hurry As you walk with grief
    Be not disturbed By memories that come unbidden.
    Swiftly forgive;
    And let Christ speak for you Unspoken words.
    Unfinished conversation Will be resolved in Him.
    Be not disturbed.
    Be gentle with the one Who walks with grief.
    If it is you, be gentle with yourself.
    Swiftly forgive; Walk slowly,
    Pausing often.
    Take time, be gentle As you walk with grief.
      Anonymous A Celtic Prayer
