Sadness flies on the wings of the morning and out of the heart of darkness comes the light..

I just learned that a close friend of mine has miscarried. I cannot imagine the grief she is feeling. She is so broken hearted and I cannot begin to understand how I can help her or be there for her or make her whole again. I know it is not for me to make her whole again but I cannot even imagine to think of what she is going through. All the things that people say just seem so cliche now. Like she said, she has known people to go through this before and she never really comprehended what they were feeling until now and that makes her feel badly for not feeling that hurt with them before. How could she know without having gone through it before. I don't think anyone can truly know unless they have been through it. It breaks my heart to hear her talk about what she should have been doing and what might have gone wrong.

Bottom line is that I just don't know what to do and I hate that. Now I know what it is like to be a guy, always wanting to fix things that cannot be fixed by their conventional ways.

Keeping her and her family in my prayers.
