"True understanding of loss can only come from a heart that has suffered the same"...I found this in a card a stranger who lost a son had sent me two years ago---I put on a good face...to hid away the pain most of the time...I am broken---and each day I feel my own weaknesses and hurt...I cling to things that provide me with some Peacefulness...although it's momentary...as I close my eyes and say "the Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those who are lost of Spirit..."...wishful that the darkness looming on Jordan will somehow lift and that our little family can find a new form of strength and happiness....
