Losing someone you love can turn your whole world upside down. Whatever you're feeling, God is near, and you don't have to grieve alone.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
What can help
- Bring your sorrow honestly to God. The Psalms are full of grief and questions; pray them.
- Let your church family carry you with meals, visits and prayer. Tell your pastor what you're facing.
- Join a grief support group. Many churches host GriefShare, a weekly group for people who have lost a loved one.
- Take care of your body: rest, eat and keep simple routines.
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’” — John 11:25
