Reflections from an ever learning sojourner...
There are sorrows
in this life of which depths extend beyond any words that could possibly be used to
describe them. The death of a child is such a sorrow.
My heart
deeply aches for the mother and the father who face the death of their beloved
son or daughter. Though I’m extremely empathetic, I
am very well aware what
I feel doesn’t even come
close to what
they are enduring in this immensely painful season of life. It is an action of my love and compassion to weep and grieve beside them.
With
all my being I wish that I
could somehow minimize their pain and suffering.
Yet, I know this is impossible. Such a
grief can only
be supernaturally eased by God and time, in ways completely unique to each person’s needs.
As I hurt and
cry tears alongside these parents and their family and friends, I plead with
God to bring them all abounding comfort and unexpected blessings.
