I know God doesn't want us to feel alone or be alone...yet the loneliness and emptiness is so very hard to endure. When you have lived with and love someone so much for so long and that person can only be reached in a memory or a dream, the only thing to do is trust in the Lord that He knows best. Just the other day I happened to meet the physician who cared for my husband. When he reached out and took my hand and asked me "how are you" it suddenly hit me how much the touch of a hand or a kind word can mean to a grieving person. These small gestures are few and far between as weeks turn into months. I am struggling with the inherent need for caring human companionship and the reality of a lonely world.
