What to say?

Sunday, November 18, 2007

So today I was lurking around on myspace, and I was looking at this girls blog, who used to be my best friend growing up. During highschool, we grew apart, just due to normal teenage stuff. Well, as I was reading her blog, it talked about how she just lost her unborn child. It's so heart wrenching reading things like that, because, honestly? Is there anything I could ever say to help her? Is there anything I could say to make this pain go away?
And the answer to these questions is No. I can't do anything. No one can. I truely beleive that God has plans for everyone, and even though some of those plans are horrible things that make you question why He is doing it, you just have to have faith that everything will work out at He has planned.
I really just wish I could give her words that are comforting, and help her to gain closure, and heal throughout this process.

I did find this, and I really loved it. I never sent these words to her, but maybe I should have.

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. "
--Eleanor Roosevelt
