Death is Nothing At All
By Henry Scott-Holland
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that 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 an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Elaine Fredrick Barth says
Dear Pat, my name is Elaine Barth (maiden name Frederick). I am quite certain you were a friend of my brother’s, Steve Frederick. I read about your mother’s passing in the Lock Haven Express. I remember your beautiful mother very well. I also remember coming to the “farm” and making purchases there.
I am married to Bob Barth, and we just went through this journey with his mother, Sylvia Barth. Her services were Tuesday evening. So, our loss is fresh, and we certainly can appreciate what you are feeling. What a lovely and wonderful age…
101…and to write an autobiography at 99. I love that I have learned about this.
You may remember my parents…Don and Betty Jean Frederick…they along with my brother have all passed. Steve died July 20, 2013 after a 4 year battle with lymphoma…he continued his involvement with his passion for music, and that is one of the things you may remember him for.
Please accept my sympathy for your loss…praying that you will allow God to guide your steps, and heal your heart, as you write the next chapter of your life. Most sincerely, Elaine Frederick Barth
Marie Dews says
Pat, please accept my sympathy in the loss of your mother. I know you will miss her terribly. My sister and I both enjoyed your mother’s book so much. We very much admired her and could identify with her story so much as we grew up on a farm. I am losing my sister any day now. She is 91 and the last of my siblings and my only sister.

Pat,
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your mother.
Jaunette says
Pat my prayers are with you. I was there. You took good care of your mom, whatever her needs were, you fulfilled them. Anytime you were there she got the best care you could give her and for that I want you to be at peace and be happy. Your mom would have said she lived the best life. God bless Jaunette
