Good Grief: Living and Learning Through Loss a 7-Day Plan by Maya J.T. Dawsonഉദാഹരണം

Day 7: Conclusion

I’d love to say that by the time you finish this devotional, you will be cured of all heartbreak and pain. I can’t. I wish I could put a time limit on grief but there isn’t one. There is no formula for the grieving process; only an opportunity to grow our faith.

The stages of grief aren’t linear. They are slow, abrupt, sporadic, cyclical, and interwoven all at the same time. They can occur and reoccur with each season of life. They look and feel different as we experience new milestones and challenges. We cannot rush through them or wish them away. Each stage is an invitation for us to grow, learn, and heal. Each stage is an opportunity for us to seek God.

My prayer is that with each stage of grief, you would lean into the One who loves You with an everlasting love. God truly is the only constant we have both in this life and the next. His presence is the greatest gift we could ever behold. I’m so grateful that He wants us to bring every thought, emotion, and question to Him. I’m so grateful that He meets us in our grief.

I pray that wherever you are in the grieving process, you will take hold of God’s hand. He longs to help us through each and every day. Whether we realize it or not, it is He who has and continues to carry us every step of the way. Selah.

“You’ve kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights,

Each tear entered into your ledger,

Each ache written in your book.”

Psalm 56:8 (Msg.)

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned,

And the flame shall not consume you.”

Isaiah 43:2 (ESV)
