Mourning into joy.

Facing a loss is the most difficult thing you will ever face.

Grief is not an easy journey.

Whatever loss you may be going through or facing, God will walk with you every step of the journey. As you express your feelings, thoughts, and doubts, God hears every word and holds you in his hand.

While you may not feel his presence in the darkest hour of grief, God is with you. As you work through the loss each day will get a little better. Each week will become a bit less difficult. And each month that passes by God will never leave your side.

At some point down the road, all the hard work of leaning into those waves of emotion of feeling every negative and positive memory, you will begin to experience God’s peace. Your hope will be renewed!

I am convinced that when we face the loss head-on we will be able to say with David these words, “You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away the clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy” (Psalm 30:11 NLT).
