“When I think of death, and of late the idea has come with alarming frequency, I seem at peace with the idea that a day will dawn when I no longer be among those living in this valley of strange humors.

I can accept the idea of my own demise, but I am unable to accept the death of anyone else.

I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go into that country of no return.

Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake.

I answer the heroic question ‘Death, where is thy sting?’ with ‘It is here in my heart and mind and memories.'”

The loss of a loved one delivers a wide range of emotions that usually includes intense sadness. We may feel the need to present a strong front and resist the urge to cry, but grief experts agree that we should not suppress our tears.

Tears have healing powers. New research suggests that crying has a soothing effect on the mind and body, allowing an individual to reduce their distress and calm themselves. Crying helps to alleviate pain by releasing oxytocin and endorphins. Additional benefits of crying have been noted to include the release of toxins, reduction of stress, and improved sleep.

“When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Taps" is played at military funerals to honor the memory of service members and to signify the end of their earthly duty. It's a solemn bugle call, deeply rooted in military tradition, that expresses gratitude and respect for the deceased.

The 24-note melody first came about during the American Civil War. In 1862, General Daniel Butterfield wanted a new call to signal “lights out.” Working with his brigade’s bugler, Oliver W. Norton, the call was revised into the more melodic and haunting sequence known today.

The call quickly spread throughout the Union and Confederate Armies. It was first played at a military funeral when it was ordered to be used instead of the traditional three-volley rifle salute to avoid alerting enemy pickets. Although its original name was “Extinguish Lights,” the call was renamed “Taps” in 1891 and soon became a formal part of American military funerals.

Today, its slow, mournful notes remain one of the most iconic and moving pieces of American military tradition.
