Grief is a hard thing. There is no formula, no right or wrong way to do it. Grief is as unique as the people who are going through it. Every day, people are losing loved ones. Sadly, goodbyes are a part of living and grief is necessary.
But, the Bible says we can grieve with hope. Brothers we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men , who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus, those who have fallen asleep in Him. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14)
John 3:16 says...For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
My mother-in-law left this earth on Thursday. We miss her, but we are grieving with hope. I am confident that she believed in Jesus and I know that she is in heaven right now rejoicing and worshiping God. She is free from pain and fear and sorrow! And I am grateful that we can grieve with hope!
