Why is life so unfair? Why did God say, "No," when I prayed for a miracle? Can we receive signs and messages from another dimension? Will the waves of grief ever stop? How do I go on living without my beloved? Death arrives on our doorstep with more questions than answers. At its deepest level, our grief is wordless. We try "empty, "lost," "heartbroken," and countless other formations of letters, but none seem adequate to convey the deep sadness that threatens to swallow us in a sea of sorrow.

If I can't find peace, does that mean my faith isn't real? Will there ever be an end to my grieving? These and countless other questions swirl through our minds when death steals a beloved spouse. Heartbroken and alone, our spirit thirsts for nourishment. In the early stages of loss when our insides are heaving, though, a sip of sustenance is likely all we can swallow.
