Empty Arms
We anticipated sharing your joy, holding your baby, delighting in new life.
Instead we share your grief, and your empty arms, as we mourn unexpected death.
Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

This is a good one. Not too gushy, none of that blasphemous "God knows what is best" (fine, that isn't blasphemous) or "He wanted that little angel in heaven with him" (that is), but just right empathy.
"God knows what is best" isn't blasphemous, but it often seems to miss the point... I think I'm mostly aiming for empathy in these cards, though not always. I started losing creativity and drifting towards facts instead of empathy.
