We use Laura’s post to dig into what it means to mourn and receive comfort by sharing from our own experience in raising a 2e child, dealing with systematic depression, and growing up with the pain sexual abuse. We talk about meeting Jesus through the anger of heavy metal, how its honesty about suffering and a plea for mercy punched through depression and into a relationship with Jesus. There is no “sitcom Christianity” or pristine conclusion, but there is a way through. It starts with kindness.
