Letter to a Grieving Friend
James MacDonald shares a letter he sent to a woman who was grieving for her mother. “Your mother is having a day that is very different than yours. As you put on your black dress this morning remember that your mom is dressed in white (Rev. 19:14). As you shed tears of sorrow and separation remember that your mother is shedding tears of joy. As you think and reflect and ask the questions we all struggle with remember that all your mom’s questions are gone (1Cor. 13:12)…”
