Mind, Will and Emotions

I'm filled with mixed emotions tonight. I have about ten minutes to write something before I go to my Wednesday night church meeting and birthday party for the pastor, and I am grieving with a dear friend who just lost her husband. I lost a sister to suicide, my parents are both passed on, my brothers don't speak to me and so I understand very well what losing someone feels like and I know that there are no words of a sympathy card that can heal the hurt, but I do know that grieving loss is a universal emotion. People handle it in various ways, and we all go through it at some point in our lives. I know that as a believer, there is comfort in God, that is all I really know, no matter what the problem is. I may be back with more, but I have to go now.
