The grief is so thick.
I can barely see through it.
I can hardly move in it.
It catches my breath.
And chokes me.
It threatens to engulf me.
In waves so powerful,
I want to let it.
That feels dangerous.
My heart constricts,
and bends and bleeds
Not understanding
nonetheless believing
what I don’t even want
to believe.
God, why would you?
God, how could you?
You know that I will praise you through everything -
And still you allow this suffering.
Place Your hands on me
Guide me through this grief
I cannot see past today
Show me what
You know I don’t know-
when I can know.
I trust You. I trust You. I say it and mean it. I trust You.
I understand nothing,
but by faith,
and prayers,
by Your Hands
I am held.
So I understand something,
and I understand nothing
in a grief this thick.
You express so well the feeling I understand but cannot explain in detail like you can. I love you Jenna. I hate that you are hurting. Your faith will get you through as it has before.
