Useless
What can you say? When the phone rings and your friend tells you--there's little you can do or say to help comfort the loss of a loved one. It's an impossible circumstance. But it's worse when you know you have knowledge that could help to heal them, that you know there is a plan and that they will be with their family again, that they will be together forever. And you just can't say it...so you stand and say, "I'm sorry, I love you, I'll be praying for you." Just like everyone else...and you feel worthless.

I'm sure that you just being there was worth everything to her. You can give her another wonderful gift during this hard time--your friendship and support--because she will need it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI think you tell her about your beliefs of families being forever, or even being able to see him again. Even if she doesn't believe it, you can tell her what you believe about it and then maybe it will give her possible hope.
