We have all known hurt. Heartache, like love, is an emotion that proves we exist. Hurt can be a slow, dull ache, or a sharp and not-so-silent void. It can create a stillness in our lives so profound that we cannot move until we come to realize that life is far too precious to remain motionless. Life holds hidden gifts in its hands, and even the most painful of all our experiences can lead us to awakenings that lift us higher and bring us closer to our faith. As we work through our grief, be it loss, change, or disappointment, is it important to know that we are never alone with our feelings and that we are all connected in some mysterious wonderful way.
