“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
We believe God is not intimidated by your grief. He is not asking you to pretend you’re okay. He draws near to the brokenhearted.
If today is hard, take it one breath at a time.
If you need to cry, cry.
If you need to remember, remember.
If you need someone to sit with you in the silence, let someone sit with you.
And if you are grieving a child, please know this:
Your child is not forgotten.
Your motherhood is not erased.
Your fatherhood is not erased.
Your love does not disappear because their physical presence does.
There are losses that change us forever. We may learn to carry them differently, but we never have to pretend they didn’t happen.
Today, we honor every name, every memory, every birthday, every due date, every empty chair, every photograph, and every heart that still loves someone who is no longer here.
