Suffering a loss too great to bear,
and wondering within if anyone else does care.

Hurting more than I've known anyone could,
and wondering if I've done everything I should.

Crying myself to sleep at night,
praying to God that I did everything right.

Having an ache that won't go away,
often wide awake before the light of day.

So many emotions entering my head.
How could I have such thoughts? My loved one is dead.

Sometimes I wonder if I am going mad.
This is the most dreadful experience I've ever had.

Father in heaven I need You today.
Please give me what I need to survive I pray.

Please help me to cope and understand.
Remind me You have us in the palm of Your hand.

The situation won't change, it will be the same,
but the peace that passeth understanding can relieve my pain.

Suffering a loss but not my faith in You.
Heavenly Father please help me to remember this is true.
