Biblical Answer

The Bible is a rich source of comfort and guidance for those who are grieving. In Psalm 121, we find words of encouragement that remind us that God is our Rock, our Refuge, and our Shield. When we feel overwhelmed by our grief, we can turn to God and say, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2). This psalm reminds us that God is our source of help and comfort, and that we can trust in Him, even in the midst of our grief.

It's also important to recognize that grief is a natural response to loss, and that it's not something to be ashamed of. In fact, the Bible teaches us that grief is a form of love, and that it's a sign of the depth of our relationship with the person we've lost. As C.S. Lewis wrote in his book "A Grief Observed," "Grief is a form of love. To be grieved means that we have loved, and that we are still connected to the person we've lost." This understanding can help us to process our grief in a healthy way, and to find comfort in our memories of the person we've lost.

In addition to turning to the Bible for comfort and guidance, it's also important to seek support from others. This can include talking to a trusted friend or family member, or seeking out a counselor or therapist who can provide guidance and support. As C.S. Lewis wrote, "It's not just that we need to be comforted by others, but we also need to be comforted by God. And we need to remember that God is our Rock, our Refuge, and our Shield, and that He is always with us, even in the midst of our grief." (Psalm 121:3). By seeking support from others and from God, we can find the strength and comfort we need to navigate our grief and to find healing and wholeness.
