What I had hoped and prayed would not happen has come to pass, and I am beside myself with grief. The sun rises and I am not filled with its light. Night comes and the darkness closes in. The one I love is gone, and something of me has gone too. The places remain that we knew so well and who can I tell Who has ever known me so well, understood my silences, and read my glances like a book Where shall I turn I turn to pray and am too wrapped up in myself. I do not want to be bitter, but oh, how this loss stings, and the tears come, and the hours weigh me down like great boulders in deep water. Oh thou, who in Christ Jesus art able to deliver the righteous into peace, flood over the burning sorrow of my soul. Aid me to trust thee as I take the next step, as I eat the next meal alone, if need be, as I go through the activities of the day. Thy Word bespeaks Presence. Comfort me, my God, as only thou canst. Enfold me, just now, close to thy side. Through the conqueror of sorrow, Christ Jesus. Amen"
