💔 Start the grief and loss check

Sound familiar?

  • I find it hard to concentrate on anything other than the loved one I lost.

  • My loss of faith or spiritual crisis has led to significant changes in my behavior or lifestyle

What the Bible actually says

In the biblical sense, grief and loss refer to the profound emotional and spiritual pain that occurs as a result of the loss of someone or something significant. It is a natural response to loss, reflecting our deep value for God's gifts. It mirrors Jesus’ own experience of grief (John 11:35) and is a process that often involves stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).
