But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.

Before the throne of the Almighty man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
