Loss
Sometimes there are no words
to soothe the aching in someone's
heart. And despite our best
efforts, another's pain is not
always ours to heal. It exists.
It is a real, pulsing, undeniable thing
that we all must walk through at
one point or another.
It is never easy.
It almost never makes sense.
It just is.
And all we can do is let our love
rise to the surface.
Let our prayers whisper songs of healing
in her ears.
Even if she can't hear the words,
she will know we are with her
in the misdt of her darkness and
uncertainty, holding her hand quietly
as we hold our breath.
Holding on to those we love
a little tighter this day, honoring
her loss the best way we know how . . .
