Dear God,

How can we dispel deep grief and despair in those we love?  How can we dig deeper into their souls to touch light and life.  How can we bring joy back to them?

Debi weeps daily for her murdered son who used to call daily just to say hi.  Tears live right at the edge of her eyelid and her soul.  They spill over several times every day.  What brings them?  Anything...a memory, a scent in the air, a lost opportunity, a song, his children, her grandsons.  How do I soften the blows?

You are
our strength,
a refuge
in the midst
of loss
and sorrow.
Open up
my sister's soul,
I pray,
and heal her
from the inside out.
Please!

Love, Andrea
