So, so sorry that your sister-in-law could make such a callous and hurtful comment. Unfortunately, it’s far too easy sometimes, in the heat of anger, to let those fiery darts fly–forgetting, in our heightened emotional state, that they can never be recalled.

This is one reason why sensitivity to the feelings of others is so very important. It can help us avoid letting those perpetually hurtful words pass our lips in the first place, causing emotional devastation to other already-hurting people. I feel your pain. Yet, the one I pity more is your sister-in-law. Her position is not an enviable one.

Praying God’s Spirit would comfort your aching heart. Only He–both directly and through the love and care of His people–can pick up the shattered pieces and fit them back together to create a new and blessed whole–one that’s better, stronger, and more beautiful than it was before the damage was done.

It’s a miracle, to be sure, but one in which He specializes; because He was a “man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.” So hang on to that hope–because “hope is the anchor of the soul.”

Love and prayers,
Jeanne

Hugs,

Danielle you have my heartfelt empathy - no matter what has happened in the past, the way the two women in your life are handling things right now is not appropriate.
