Nugget#9 The Comforter does repeat visits

Three years ago when my dear neighbor passed away into eternity I thought I would die my self. Never before had I experienced such a sudden and gut wrenching loss. My heart went out to his wife and his soulmate who I felt certain would be plunged into despair. I found myself thrust into the role of comforter, counselor. I felt out of my element and ill equipped. I literally found myself stepping up and growing up fast entering into a new and untidy space. Amidst the fog though I caught glimpses of comfort and God's divine order. But still it was not until I stood by his gravesite with my little boys and held hands a few months later on Father's day that I had a better view of the Great Comforter. On seeing that I was bereft of words, my little 8 yr old 'messenger' offered to pray. As I stood and listened to the beauty of his words fall like nuggets of truth and comfort from his lips, I felt the arms of the great comforter encircle me. I slowly began to feel better until.....fast forward to July 2011 my beloved father passed into eternity within 5 months of learning that he was ill. Again I was thrust into the abyss of super sized shock and deep sorrow... but here we are with the fire of hope burning brightly. My Comforter has come.... yet again.
