I am by nature a problem solver, a fixer, contingencies stacked up in my head for every conceivable crisis but some things just can't be fixed, they cannot be made better they must simply be endured.
This summer my sister-in-law died from cancer, too young and too soon, the pain and heartache could not be fixed it could not be made better. Grief must take it's course, the pain from losing someone you love cannot be removed even by the kindest words and yet those words bring comfort, we weep together and hold on to each other through the storm.
The Sunday after we lost her was so hard, but activities put out for the children - chalk and a piece of sugar paper were for me the way to find that peace, to put expression to the pain. Gods love will win through, His peace amidst the storm, and for those who have to continue the journey, hope because death is not the end.
Carol is at peace now - her suffering over - her battle won.
