In that same NPR story, the women had experienced people saying well-meaning but terribly hurtful things, as had many of the people who posted comments on the site afterwards.
When I hear what some Christians say to others, especially to someone in difficult circumstances, I often cringe.
God is a name, a placeholder, for that phenomenon of love and grace and truth and beauty: if your God is not those, then we believe in something different.
