Status Updates From Irma Voth

“Is it possible to communicate loneliness if the only person you're sharing it with is yourself? I looked around my little house and thought: Oh! Is that a prayer? I got down on my knees and I bowed my head and folded my hands and whispered dear God, bring me love. Bring me love. Bring me true love. Bring me love. I opened my eyes & got back up and walked to the bedroom and got into bed next to Aggie and waited.”

"God, I said, help me to live. God, I need your help. I need to live. Please? I need help living. God. Help. I had never learned how to pray properly. It didn't make sense that god would require me to articulate my pain in order for him to feel it and respond."
