Have you ever been so overcome with the grief a family is enduring, that you are frozen? Is there anything you could possibly do or say to alleviate their pain? This link from the blogspot An Inch of Gray is written by a woman who lost her son while he was playing in the rain with his sister. Her story will have you in tears. Her list is compiled of the many heartfelt ways her family was touched during their grief. I find them insightful and powerful knowing the vulnerability from which they came. Please enjoy this glimpse into her heart as much as I did.

Prayers for Boston
Laura Winslow photography
As I watched the news coverage last night, I saw an image of a boy with his family…the boy whose life was taken at the Boston marathon. My heart sank. That photograph will never be viewed the same again. Its value is now different. I look around my home, every table covered in pictures of my family and friends, and my eyes well with tears. What if it had been one of them? In an instant, my pictures, which are so familiar I no longer see, suddenly evoke a deep love and longing for people who are still alive. Just the thought of losing one of them arouses such tremendous emotion. So today I am humbled by the families who are living with that grief. I ask God why and what can I do. Pray my child pray.
