I have had to rebuild a new version of God since the death of my wife exposed the old version as insufficient for me at my worst. It has been simultaneously excruciating and exhilarating. As I try to nestle into the mystery I realize my wrestling is far from over, but it feels like it's getting me closer to the God that Jesus knows. Your transparency is a rare and beautiful gift. It resonates with me as I chose to creatively write my way through my grief journey trying to capture every wretched mood and phase. My heart aches with what you must endure, but you have found purpose in your pain. I respect, admire, and can relate to that.
