Specific information wouldn't tell me any more than you have. You hurt, as much for your helplessness as for anything else. What can we offer you, helpless as we are too, but the knowledge that we feel some of your pain? Write if it helps. We'll read and understand as we can.

Sometimes there is nothing to be usefully said except that you care.

This must be tough. Our family is dealing with a tough situation right now - I'm not purposely keeping it secret, but it's just not necessarily something that I choose to share on the blogosphere. When someone is facing a critical situation, and you are powerless to make the pain go away, you're stumped as to what you can do.

There's a concept in the New Testament that probably equally applies to the Old - when we don't know what to pray, God prays for us. Hope this helps.

Thanks, both of you. What beautiful sentiments.

I'm lucky to have the kindest friends in the blogosphere.
