Three months, and today was a
Really hard one.
"I've been crying all morning," she
Told me on the phone.
"Shouldn't I be better by now?
Even God seems far away."
I listened to her lament and turned my
Brain back five years.
"I felt the same way," I told the widow.
"Your feelings are normal.
If your body had been broken in an
Accident, your recovery would be long
And arduous. Grief is similar.
Sorrow crushes your soul, and you can't
Speed up the healing process.
There are no short cuts.
You must push through your pain."
But I told her it would get better.
I'm proof of that.
And even though God seems to be
Hiding right now, He's not.
One day my friend will look back and
See that He was the One who gave her
The strength to keep going.
