Dan, I want to send prayers for you and your wife during this difficult part of your journey. I will bookmark and share this wonderful article, which is one of the best essays on suffering I have read. And I've read many. I'm sorry the atheists among your readers have decided to double down on their disbelief rather than extend the grace and sympathy you and your beloved wife deserve. But thank you for this heartelt essay, which I needed to read today for reasons of my own.
