My friends Ben and Nancy shared this quote from Nancy Guthrie's book "Holding on to Hope." In it she recounts losing her baby to a rare genetic disorder: "The day after we buried Hope, my husband said to me, 'You know, I think we expected our faith to make this hurt less, but it doesn't. Our faith gave us an incredible amount of strength and encouragement while we had Hope, and we are comforted by the knowledge that she is in heaven. Our faith keeps us from being swallowed by despair. But I don't think it makes our loss hurt any less.'"

Joshua (and family),
My Mom died suddenly in a car accident seven years ago. This quote did honestly look at the pain that is still so present in loss of a dear loved one.
I am thankful to be able to say that as time passes, the grief lessens and you will be able to remember and talk about your mother without the feeling of sadness and loss.
Your mother seemed like such a wonderful lady with a beautiful smile and spiritual strength.
I will pray that God will continue to comfort you and your family as only He can!
So true! It's good to be reminded of that.
I really appreciated this book, especially during a very difficult time in my life a few years ago.
