death sympathy quotesAnyone got good proverbs or quotes with regards to death or bereavement?

I want to send a sympathy letter and would like to finish off with a nice quote.

thanks.xx
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
~Author Unknown

Hope these help...
i was hoping you'd choose me

Why? I lost both of my parents within a few months of each other. The last thing I wanted to do was read the bereavement cards looking for meaningful quotes.
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain fromdeath sympathy quotes embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

We ought not grieve for those who have died. They are in a better place. It is for those of us whom are left behind that we should pray. (That's not a quote - that's just my thoughts.)
Sorry to hear that. I've lost both my parents and it would been nice to have heard a nice quote. Make it a short one. I really liked the answer with the prophet Kahlil Gibran. I used to read his stuff all the time when I was younger.
Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
-Vaclav Havee

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave foot-prints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

Shared Joy is double joy, shared sorrow is half sorrow - Swedish proverb

Compassion is death sympathy quotesthe antitoxin of the soul, where there is compassion, even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. - Eric Hoffer

Turn your face to the Son and the shadows fall behind you.

Compassion is sorrow for the sufferings or troubles of others, accompanied by the urge to help.
"The distance that the dead have gone, does not, at first, appear. Their coming back seems imminent with every passing year."
- Emily Dickinson

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
-George Bernard Shaw
Death is but a next great adventure, it really is a sweet and painful happening. It is but an everlasting new life.

He who is a good man shall die to accept a sweet and everlasting life thus to leave the good will they have done behind.
Hey, look at the bright-side of the cemetery, people are just dying to get in.

And you know, people are dying today that never died before.
