After a sudden death

After a Sudden Death
It isn't the first week--that's full
Of not believing followed closely by
Plans and meals and cards and calls--
It may not even be the week after that,
But one day,
The silence is striking
After the calls, the cards, the meals,
Different plans need to be made from
Any made before and
A different sorrow comes,
A mourning personal,
A grieving not like,
A new way to be found,
A reality only God can
Strengthen you in an for
And
He is able
Always able

A dear Christian friend with young children lost his wife to cancer over the weekend. This has been on my heart.
