How I wish...

Dec 30, 2009 17:26

Sending my thoughts and prayers to a friend who's wife is dying... I wish I had a deep and abiding faith in something... I wish I knew, deeply KNEW with the sort of conviction that they have that somebody is minding the light at the end of the tunnel, but I don't. I have my beliefs... but that's exactly what they are. Just a belief, without evidence without substantive proof.

It's hard to offer comfort from that position. Hallmark doesn't make a "she will turn to dust, as will we all" or a "you will move on with your life... and eventually feel happy again" card.

Even though both of these things are true, neither offers much comfort to a man who is grieving.
