This article was just what I needed today. I have been feeling overwhelmed with all the wars going on around the world and the turmoil closer to home. I’m grateful to be reminded that my prayers can and do make a difference. Many thanks.

I am thankful to see this article addressing the concept of grief being the price one pays for love. I heard that comment shortly after my husband passed several years ago. My thought was at the time, and continues even today, that my husband was not my loss but my gain. He brought opportunity to heal difficult hurts from past relationships. I am so grateful for his support and gentle care. I appreciate the author’s insights into the subject. Thank you again.
