“‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
For a while after a loss, some people wake with sore eyes before they've even remembered why. If that has been true for you, the ache might return somewhere between filling the kettle and looking out of the window. After enough mornings like that, a quiet thought can take root: tears will always be part of life.
