Suffering

This past week has been a bit of a blur for us as we have been grieving with a close friend who suddenly lost her husband (31) last Wednesday morning. We are grieving over the loss of a good friend, while our hearts are broken for his precious wife and 3 young children. We long to "do something," while knowing that the best thing we can do is to be faithful in prayer and in friendship day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.

I have been reading much on the subject of comforting those who are suffering and understanding what they need in their time of tragedy. I found this article on a friend's blog this afternoon. It is well worth reading.
