Major Loss

 

In the midst of world news heartache

there is a woman

a widow now

these children

fatherless

completely unrelated

to the chaos around the globe

 

a work related death

a sole-bread winner

a father gone

a husband dead

 

empty arms

empty hearts

 

I cannot imagine her pain.

I cannot imagine her despair.

 

The dreams they had.

The plans in place.

The move.

The trip.

 

What will she does now?

How can she function?

 

10 years and now

a new chapter of her life starts

a chapter she never wanted to live

 

 

Striving to learn and live God's purposes,

Thank you! I have no words to say to her, I really don't. I've tried, but this is wonderful, thank you!
