Our friend came to visit, now a month into grief.
He loved his wife. He misses her.
Yet he is still so entirely himself,
Still so matter-of-fact,
Yet overlaid with a new compassion,
With a penetrating vision of the task God has before him,
It gives me hope that the grief I have hoped was possible
Is actually attainable.
“We do not grieve as others who have no hope.”
I have seen this modeled.
You've managed to do an incredible job chronicling this family tragedy. Words fail me as I try to imagine the pain. Yet there is hope there is love and fellowship, there is God. Keep writing, I look daily for my challenge and/ or encouragement.
