Thanks for posting. This was really well-written and resonated with me...we're in quite a season of lament at our house. I read this quote just before reading your post. Perhaps it will encourage you as well:
“The deeper our faith, the more doubt we must endure; the deeper our hope, the more prone we are to despair; the deeper our love, the more pain its loss will bring: these are a few of the paradoxes we must hold as human beings. If we refuse to hold them in the hopes of living without doubt, despair, and pain, we also find ourselves living without faith, hope, and love.” – Parker J. Palmer
