The Mystery of Grief

Joanna, my heart goes out to you. That sense of tearing loss and of waking up in the morning and then there being a split second and then it hits you again. This is just terrible. And those of us who've faced any such experience know exactly what you're going through, I think. God loves your broken heart as much as he loved your unbroken heart before. If anything, I want to say God specializes in broken hearts. Jesus weeping at the tomb of his friends. Jesus weeping himself in the Garden of Gethsemane. The only way into prayer in that context will be through inhabiting stories like that. Read Isaiah 40 to 55 from start to finish
