When loss hits, remember it was named in advance as a test, and that good news was promised to those who hold.
The pain is real and expected, not a sign that something has gone uniquely wrong with you.
On the days you can only endure, endure. Patience through grief is not wasted; it is counted.
Some days the work is simply to bear it without turning bitter. That bearing is itself worth something.
