All the Feels - Leading Our EmotionsSample

DAY 10: SORROW / GRIEF

Have you ever lost someone close to you? Are you grieving the life you thought you would have or missing what used to be?

Loss, sorrow and grief are incredibly powerful emotions and it’s vital that we process these feelings with the people in our life. Why is it that what we need most can tend to be the things we pull away from, like choosing to withdraw and isolate ourselves?

This goes back to our “Just do it"—even if you don’t feel like it. I think instinctively we can sense our own vulnerability when we are grieving and the potential embarrassment of others seeing us in a fragile state. Also, people don’t always know what to say or do and that leaves us feeling emotionally abandoned when they don’t show up in the ways we need.

If you are walking through this, I just want to say that I am so sorry for your pain. You matter and what you are going through matters to God. We may not be able to fix anything for one another but I pray today’s Scriptures are a comfort to your soul.
