On several occasions, when loved ones have passed on, I have been comforted by these words from Mary Baker Eddy's "Communion Hymn":
Mourner, it calls you,—"Come to my
bosom,
Love wipes your tears all away,
And will lift the shade of gloom,
And for you make radiant room
Midst the glories of one endless day." Christian Science Hymnal, No. 298.
The declaration "Love wipes your tears all away" provided immediate comfort when I was engulfed in tears. As I realized the omnipresence of God's love, I knew that it was encircling me and all of His creation, including my loved ones who had seemed to pass on.
