“The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.”

“No matter how much and how often - 'things' will never compensate for loss or absence...no matter how guilty a parent feels.”

“Is it possible, that is, to love God no matter what? Job, through three tough tests—the loss of his possessions and children, the loss of his health, and the loss of his friends and their respect—answers in the affirmative. Yes, it is possible. In fact, it is necessary”

“The violence of war is random. It does not make sense. And many of those who struggle with loss also struggle with the knowledge that the loss was futile and unnecessary.”
