Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven, where the love of our lost ones pour through and shine down on us to let us know they are happy.
The love that’s deep within me shall reach you from the stars, you’ll feel it from the heavens and it will heal the scars.
If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
No One Ever Told Me That Grief Felt So Like Fear by C.S. Lewis
