I Samuel 1:10 ” In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the Lord.”

Over the course of my career as a nurse I have witnessed death first hand.  I have comforted countless families as they maneuver through the  uncharted territory of fear, sorrow, and unspeakable anguish.  But I’ve also realized that it doesn’t get any easier with a lot of experience.  Death of a loved one is a heart crushing encounter full of very personal suffering.   And a few weeks ago, I still found myself asking, “Why Lord?”,  when a young wife and mother was taken from her two small boys and husband on Christmas Eve.  But it’s then, I must remind myself that just because my prayers weren’t answered like I wanted,  doesn’t mean that God somehow made a mistake.
