We're here for you

 My dear sweet friend has suffered an immeasurable loss.
Her sweet baby has been called to heaven at just one week old.

There are no words to convey my sadness for her and her family.

I hope that God can wrap her in his love and that it feels like a cashmere sweater.

Only warmer.

And tighter.

I pray he never lets go.

I pray she finds your way again.

eventually, it'll break your heart

it'll rip you wide open, crawl
up into your ribcage, root through
your chest, rush like lightning
through your veins, settle deep
into your soul, it will make you
question everything

but you must answer it

sit with it, revel in it even,
because pain fosters courage
& without courage
you will never
wholly experience
the fullness
of life
