Among the tortures and devestations of life is this then - our friends are not able to finish their stories.

Jesus wept.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.

When you dig another out of their troubles, you find a place to bury your own.

The I in illness is isolation, and the crucial letters in wellness are we.

Happiness make you smile, Sorrow can crush you.

When there are legitimate concerns and frustrations it is never cool to marginalise and ridicule the people who have those concerns.

How many others suffered in silence, too ashamed and too afraid to speak about their pain? The world wouldn't let them grieve for children they had aborted. How could they when the rhetoric said there was no child? How does one grieve what doesn't exist? No one wanted to admit the truth.

I'd rather see your honest pain than a brave front.

We grieve for those we've lost, but it's the living that cause us the most pain....

A man's hearted could rub deeper than any gift could reach.

Sad? Nonsense! Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
