Oh, how easy it would be to become bitter!
If I’m honest, part of me just wants to tell the world to “Get lost!”.
But the wiser part of me knows that’s neither a helpful nor healthy response to even this most awful burden of child loss.
Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God. Without lament, we won’t know how to process pain. Silence, bitterness, and even anger can dominate our spiritual lives instead.
~Mark Vroegop – Dark Clouds Deep Mercy
Because my bitter spirit wouldn’t stop with me.

Thank you for reminding me this is a choice I get to make every day. Some days it’s much harder than other days to avoid choosing bitterness, but I need to make the good choice for my son William, who ran ahead of me like Dom, and for my family here on this earth. I appreciate your writings.
