So, so true, compassionate and broad. And I like what you say about the scars, that the Son of God Himself still bears the scars, but in victory. We can't imagine the final overcoming that those bereaved parents will experience.

This is a searingly honest and profound reflection at a moment when it is much needed. The scars, His and ours, the only glints in the dark mystery we endure.

Beautiful Tom.

We can see in the psalms that God understands the grief, like Jesus on the cross feeling forsaken. And hopefully we soon, even in the midst of grief, can get back to the part "I will proclaim your name, you who fear the Lord give praise"
