When a child dies, it often sounds the death knell for the marriage. Not so for my parents. Although their grief was unspeakable, it did not drive them apart. Instead they clung to each other, finding strength in their love. Years later I asked Mother how she made it after Carolyn died. Without a moment’s hesitation she replied, “I had your father to help me. He listened when I needed to talk and when my grief was too deep for words, he held me.”
“The tongue of the wise brings healing.”
— Proverbs 12:18
Lord Jesus, give us comforting words when others hurt and when we have no words, may our presence minister. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
