Every human being at some point will have experiences in life where things will go terribly wrong. The “normal” of life will be upset and the proverbial wheels will fall off. Most of these situations we encounter cannot be explained, sudden life-threatening illness, a car wreck, accidental death, natural disasters, a miscarriage and so on. When we face these awful situations our normal gets disrupted and we can become disoriented. A lament is a passionate prayer of grief or sorrow that might be able to help us give words to our feelings.
