Chris Seeley
21 August 1966 – 3 December 2014
Our beloved partner, friend and colleague Chris died at 6.47pm Wednesday 3 December from the effects of a brain tumour. She was at home in Folly Cottage surrounded by her family, a few of her many friends, and with me by her side. She had been unconscious since Tuesday lunchtime and slipped away without distress or pain as if carried on a sea of love. Afterwards, we sat with her until dawn to accompany her passing. Next morning we found these words in her journal, written about 10 days before.
machete
hacking at
the
mooring
lines
tying me
to my
life, the
shore,
the jetty of
my life
as the
tide comes
in and
oh so
gradually
bits disappear
under the
starlight
and others
float off
to sea. Gone in
the morning.
Light, love and blessings dearest Chris – to you and to us all.
