Forgiving Hardships Comments

This poem is the MOTHER LODE of poems about dealing with grief and loss. It doesn't solve the problem, which truly cannot be solved, only confronted and dealt with. But you are walking a path of grief, inevitable, unavoidable grief, with FAITH and COURAGE. What you are doing is lighting a beacon for those of us who will travel this path in the future. As I said, reluctantly, your grief cannot be assuaged because your loss is permanent, but by providing that beacon light to the rest of us, you transform grief into charity, your loss becomes an act of giving to others. And what could be a more Christian act of faith than that?
