Old Friends Remembered

When we lose a loved one, we are overwhelmed with grief, denial, abandonment, and anxiety. God's comfort does help to ease the pain, but only time will heal the wounds. The loss leaves a hole in our soul where our loved ones once occupied the space. We search for answers to our questions. While some aspects of grief are common to all, the grieving process is a uniquely individual experience. The following stories are about four souls I have loved and lost. The most comforting thought God has given me is that I will see them all again one day in the future.
