One of my favorite authors and poets wrote a poem about death.
My heart aches this week for my dear friend C. She and her husband were informed on Sunday that their oldest son committed suicide. I found out about 2 hours after they did. It's shocking.
I have no words of comfort to offer. I can only offer prayer for strength that they get through the next couple of weeks.
There will be shock, guilt, anger, deep sadness, possibly depression, and then hopefully hope, cherished memories, comfort in God's arms, and some day.....one day.......peace.
There's no reason to ask why. We just don't know.
But God in His sovereignty knows. He sees. He weeps. He comforts.
I pray my dear friends can receive the peace that passes understanding. Because this is certainly a heavy trial.
If you think of it, please offer up prayers for my dear friend C and her husband. and the remaining young adult children.
Thank you.
