I'm so sorry you've had to...this is exactly right. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry you've had to endure people who think they mean well but actually say the wrong thing. My experience of people who say things about being "at peace" or "in a better place" or "not suffering anymore" or "will be known to you when you are at peace too" tended to be people who didn't know anything, had never had an experience of paralyzing loss--or else didn't allow themselves to experience it. (sigh)<BR/><BR/>I vastly prefer the approach of Job's friends at the beginning--just sit and don't say anything. There's nothing to say, after all. I'm virtually sitting with you in silence, and holding you near the light (not in it yet, since I get the sense it might be too bright...).Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.com
