Their second son,
Their last one, dies of a drug overdose like
His brother?
They don't want to hear the cliches,
And not even the Bible verses, not
Just yet.
Simple words are best:
"I'm so, so sorry."
"I don't understand."
"I'm hurting with you."
"I'm praying."
"Jesus is weeping too.
And it's okay to ask Him, 'Why?'"
