Sometimes our world stands still when we receive news we never expected, other times we have months or years to prepare for the loss of those we love. No matter how or when loss finds its way into your life you can be sure you are never really prepared for what comes after. Grief is a process that can make people feel uncomfortable, angry, unexplainable sadness, and a host of other emotions. Although none of us want to become acquainted with it; it is inescapable. Grief will find you. The truth we should cling to as we go through the process is that God is still sovereign. God is still good. He is still with us in the midst of our worst day. He loves us.
"Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah
41:10
