I lost my wife to cancer 3 years and this song reminded me so much of her that I played it at her funeral. I still get choked up about it every now and then. I don't necessarily believe you have to be religious to understand the significance of the song however. For me, it was that my wife so strongly battled the disease, yet expected no sympathy, and didn't want anyone feeling sorry for her. Her beliefs lead her to believe that this was just one step in her journey and she wasn't afraid of what was to come.
