When we did our Sisterhood Shabbat service I suggested this and our oldest member (shes 94 I think?) demanded to be the one to read it. Not a dry eye in the room.
I really like this. I just flipped through my copy of Gates of Prayer, but it’s the 1994 edition and doesn’t have this meditation.
But it does have one about a fading guttering candle that always gets me.
Returning the gift of tears: I want this played at my wake.
