Helpful Resources

Grief is love’s shadow. Where love has walked, grief remains. The two cannot be parted, for they are bound like night and day. To grieve is not weakness, but the deepest proof that we have loved. Grief blazes like a lantern across the landscape of our hearts, proclaiming, “Love was here.” And even in the silence it whispers still, “Love is here.”

​

The Word tells us there is “a time for everything…a time to weep and a time to mourn” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–4). Mourning is holy ground, a season allowed by God Himself. In this tender place, though life may never be what it once was, His promise holds: hope can return, and joy can be restored.

​

Grief is not endured in silence alone—it is lived, spoken, and offered back to God. It is the sacred work of pouring out tears, lifting memories, and choosing to remember love. And in this holy labor, Jesus meets us: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).

​

Perhaps this is your night of weeping. If so, hold fast to the promise: “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). The night may be long, but dawn is certain. Morning will break, and with it, light will return.
