“For the morning soft with gentle light and the chair now left empty.”

This gallery is a space for remembrance and the celebration of life. In the Irish tradition, we do not shy away from the mystery of death; we walk with it, honouring those who have “gone home” before us.

These visual meditations accompany poems of lament, liturgies of absence, and hymns of thanksgiving for the unique light each person brought into the world. Whether it is a tribute to a beloved friend, a reflection on a “liturgy of the empty chair,” or a prayer for the quiet keeping of those we miss, these images offer a place of rest. Here, we hold the sorrow of loss alongside the steadfast hope of the Resurrection, trusting that no soul is ever truly lost to the Creator.
