Today our small community grieves one of its young members, Miko Wheaton Pantoja. Miko was just seventeen when he lost his life last week in an accident which left us reeling.
His mom is a friend and there are no words to describe what she feels right now. I try to say something and only tears will flow. I have learned that that is ok. Just sitting with LaTuan and holding her hand while we waited for her ride was enough to let her know that I was there for her.
She called yesterday and asked if I could come by and assist her with a few specific tasks to get ready for today's services. So grateful to be of help, I went with a joyous heart. We spent hours together sifting through items and deciding.
I cannot imagine her pain.

ReplyDeleteSometimes the best way to help someone who is grieving is to just be present for them. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. His mother is lucky to have you as a friend.
