Grief is invades
our lives and removes all sense of joy. The writer of The Book of Lamentations
was right when he wrote,
“Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to
mourning.” Lamentations 5:15
When we are in the middle of our grief, we are not ready to
hear anything that resembles “Hey, you’ll get over it!” In fact, to even say
this to the bereaved is cruel. In the depths of our loss, our souls are empty
of anything that looks like joy. If you know someone who is grieving a loss
today, sit silently in the sadness filling the space between you. It is the
greatest gift you can give. – Ron Friesen
