Loss is a fact of life. The process of losing something or someone special is very painful. There is no human who has not felt the profound feeling of loss. Holding on to faith and the belief that when our time here ends, we will meet again in heaven can sustain us during the darkest of moments. Sometimes it may feel that the darkness of sorrow will never end, however, keeping the faith will get you through it all. By trusting in God and his promise you will find courage to continue.

Even little children need to grieve. They experience loss in a different way than adults but they do grieve and they need time to do so. They grieve in bits and pieces in short segments. They need freedom to grieve in their own way. They need the chance to talk about their feelings and play out what they feel. Teaching children about God’s promise offers them hope and the wisdom that they are never alone rather than abandonment and despair.

We all need time to be alone with our feelings and we also need to feel free to reach out to others of faith to enrich our faith and courage. We are never alone on this journey and our hope is to reconnect on the other side. The memory of your loved one will never fade. They will always remain in your heart. The best way to honor your loved one is to keep the faith of the Lord in your heart and live life to the fullest in His grace.
