The help we need to get
through an emotionally difficult time doesn’t come from people who are not
suffering. It comes from the people who know the same kind of suffering and who
are willing to suffer with us. When we lament together as a community we admit
that we are vulnerable and, at the same time, discover that we are not alone in
our pain. That discovery often gives us the strength to work through the grief
and help others cope as well.
