Where The Angels Live For Elizabeth Alling Sewall | by Lucy Mathews Heegaard by studiolu published on 2013-09-01T19:48:22Z This song was written by Lucy Mathews Heegaard. While it was not written with the thought that it would ever be used as a memorial for her dear friend Elizabeth Alling Sewall, that is exactly what happened. Elizabeth drew comfort from the song as she faced terminal breast cancer and requested that Lucy sing it at her memorial service. The simple, single verse— sung three times— is meant to be a prayer of healing and a reminder that those we love remain with us always. This recording is of Lucy and her daughter Sara singing the song, just as they did at Elizabeth’s service. Where the Angels Live In memory of Elizabeth Alling Sewall Can you feel the space between heartbeat and breath? Can you hear the pause between dying and death? In the gentle silence between blessing and prayer In the whispered sound between wind and air That’s where the angels live — Lucy Mathews Heegaard © 2009 Genre grief-loss Comment by studiolu simple rendition with ukulele, just as my daughter and I sang it at the memorial service for my dear friend Elizabeth 2016-07-18T22:30:38Z
