It is so heartbreaking to hear of others' loss. I feel so helpless when I learn of those who have lost a child. I try to imagine how it would feel if it happened to me, but I simply cannot. How can I fathom life without any one of my dear children? When I hear of such loss I pray for grace for the parents - amazing grace, and the peace that passes all understanding. For although I have never experienced the death of a son or daughter, God did. He knows. He is the source of all comfort, the Giver of moment by moment grace - available to all who call upon Him. I can only cry, and bow my head and pray, and thank God for being faithful to lead us through whatever He has called us to bear, no matter how difficult it might seem to those around us.
My hope is that if someday I am called to be one of those parents, I will be able to shine with His peace through the midst of it, and lead others to Him.
To God be the glory, Amen.
