John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has issued a full-page notice in Sunday's 'New York Times', entitled 'Forgive Us'.
The message, written to coincide with the upcoming 26th anniversary of Lennon's murder on 8 December, was a plea for forgiveness from the world's poor and suffering."Know that your loss is our loss ... Know that the burden is ours," Ono wrote, issuing her message toward "people who have lost loved ones without cause."
Ono coupled forgiveness with healing, and whilst she has yet to find the resolve to forgive Mark Chapman - the man who shot and killed her husband - she went on to write, "healing is what is urgently needed now in the world. Let's heal the wounds together."
