Of all the circumstances we're forced to deal with in this life, the most difficult, by far, is the death of a child, Mr. J Diddy. Unquestionably the most difficult. Who can understand it? Who can make sense of it?
For me, the only solace available is the knowledge that we are not solely physical beings ... that we have a spirit - a life-force that transcends physicality. That means that your friend's child will never, ever really be gone. Physically taken, yes. But not gone.
There's nothing a person can say in a situation like this. You're right, of course. All you can do is support your friend and his wife. Share this experience with them. Listen to them. Be there for them. That's all you can do and, strangely, it's more than enough.
But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
