Recent Grief

When cherished ties are
broken, and the chain of love is shattered, only trust and the
strength of faith can lighten the heaviness of the heart.
At times, the pain of separation seems more than we can bear;
but love and understanding can help us pass through the
darkness toward the light.

Out of affliction the
Psalmist learned the law of God. And in truth, grief is
a great teacher, when it sends us back to serve and bless the
living. We learn how to counsel and comfort those who,
like ourselves, are bowed with sorrow. We learn when to
keep silence in their presence, and when a word will assure
them of our love and concern.

Thus, even when they are
gone, the departed are with us, moving us to live as, in their
higher moments, they themselves wished to live. We
remember them now; they live in our hearts they are abiding
blessing. |
