A son’s heartache

This is an incredible story that someone e-mailed me.
A friend of theirs has just lost his mother. Yesterday, he went to the church and asked if he could dig the grave. Why? He said his mother was with him when he entered the world and
he saw it as his role to give her back to God.
I cannot imagine what it was like, the pain the boy was going through, but it shows that we all cope with grief differently. There is no right, there is no wrong…there is only what works for us.
My thoughts go out to anyone who has lost someone and especially this son….
