A quote from a bereaved mother

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Cover Art for Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh 1929-1932



“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable.”

Anne Lindbergh had great happiness and great tragedy in her life. Her book “Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead” is the diary she kept at the time her son was kidnapped. It is truly heartrending.
