Response to help me find a poem

or this other 'version'by unknown author . Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the same easy way you always have. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was. There is absolute continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost.
