Remember Me
by Author Christina Rossetti (1849)

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

❤️ A reminder for this week:
Grief and love often sit side by side - and however you’re feeling, you’re not alone. Take your time, be gentle with yourself, and know that support is always within reach.

If you or someone you know could use a bit of extra help, these organisations offer guidance and someone to talk to:
