So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you asthe world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father. What, then, shall we say in response to this?
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: " For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your sting? But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

Six months later, Christmas eve I received a phone call that this young man, who had everything in the world going for him, committed suicide. My spirit was crushed, and for days I felt defeated by Satan. Like he was laughing at me, that this was all for nothing. In the quietness of my spirit, I heard the Lord speak to me and he said, I am who I am, and My ways are not your ways.
I began to repent, because I had assumed this young man was lost forever. I was always under the assumption that someone who did that was lost. I believe in my heart now, that this young man was going to take his life that very day, but instead he hit a little green car, and was instrumental in transitioning my mother to heaven. Now you may say, this is all nice and it makes you feel better, but you have no proof that this is what really happened.
Some things you just know in your heart. Look at the bigger picture, my grieving friend, and it will help you. Ask God to grow you, and place someone on your heart to pray for and I guarantee he will do it.
Thanks Lisa for these words of grace and peace. My mother also was killed in a car accident last August 8th It is absolutely devastating and now coming up on the anniversary, I feel like it was last week. My father is adding on additional ways of stress, refusing to see, his behavior effects other people, especially immediate family like myself. Even more unfair not to have said goodbye.
Everyday a struggle. I hope I will soon. Lisa, thank you so much for this. I just lost my husband to suicide two days ago. He was only 28, in 25 and our son turned 3 on the tenth. I know he was saved, but I am still terrified for him. These verses and your perspective on suicide and salvation have been a huge comfort to me, I thank you so much, and my heart goes out to you, I know the pain you must be feeling.
To all of those grieving, my heart and prayers go out to you. God Bless and Keep you all until we meet one day at his side with our loved ones gone before us. Dear Maggie, I lost my son to suicide April 28, I was deeply touched by the pain discussed on this site. It is clear to me there is need for more open discussions on this topic. However, I felt prompted to write you though so much time has passed. It is important for both of us, and their children, to first recognize that they had said and meant the prayer of salvation.
Romans My friend, this verse is not in the Bible by mistake. God knows all our circumstances. Though their last act was a sin, the blood of Jesus covers this too! I realize Catholic teaching is different but God gave us His word so that we can meditate on it and use it in all our life circumstances.
He has s plan for you and your child. Our job is to seek and He will help us find our purpose. For those who love and obey God, He will work all things for their good. Paraphrase from Romans Love, trust, and obey…for there is no other way…as the song goes! Love and blessings to all on their journey! My sister emailed the link of this blog post to me. I just want to thank you so much for this blog post. I lost my father this past Tuesday and he will be laid to rest on Tomorrow afternoon.
I love and miss him so much. While I was reading this post, I saw that you included Isaiah Sometimes I have my good moments, and sometimes I have my bad moments. But my family and friends have been excellent support systems, so I am getting through this, step by step. Thanks again and God bless you. I lost my daughter at the age of 18 years in , intelligent , beautiful young woman of God of leukaemia. She was born and died in November.
I still live with unbearable pain especially in November, her birthday was on Monday. Today I am sitting here and asking myself does anyone really care?
I also came across this page that is full of encouraging verses, grieving is so personal but if you cast your burdens to God he will surely take you through. When you walk on through this Dark road you do not feel his presence and you do not see his foot steps because he has lifted you up and is carrying you through. Trust in him and he will grant you peace and strength.
May God bless this site… My big aunty in choir lost two of her kid within a period of 3years… Am imagining the pains she is going thru… These portion of the bible will really her recover…. E no easy…. God have mercy. I was reading these scriptures looking for comfort.
I lost my nephew Phillip on August 28, to a scooter accident. Please pray for my family as we go through this difficult time. My life has changed , I read the bible as much as I can, Ive gone to church to receive the blessed sacraments more times in the last 4 months than I have in the past 15 years. My life will never be the same but I know we are just pilgrims passing through this world.
I will see Phillip again. With love Joe. I am so sorry to hear of your lost. I know your pain. I lost my 27 years old grandson who I raised since 6 weeks old , on September 27, to him taking his life. He left a wife, 6 years old daughter and 2 years old son. The grief and pain and not wanting to accept reality is overwhelming. I am a believer and I do trust in my Lord but right now I am finding it difficult to pray or study my Bible, but I do.
I have been told this is part of the healing process and that tho the pain of the lost never goes away.. And that to me means keeping my faith and remembering what Jesus did for me on the cross will give me the comfort and peace. May you and your children be bless with strength and peace. I am so very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. It is profoundly difficult to take care of small children, when you are coping with severe grief. Also, you are grieving all of the future you and your husband would have had together.
You have had a tremendous shock to your system. Know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. It is different for each person. You may find therapy with an individual therapist, or a group setting for dealing with grief, helpful, to have a place to vent, not in front of your children, and to hear from others who are experiencing what you are experiencing.
Hospitals often have grief groups. Do you have relatives in your area? Ask them to babysit so you can have some alone time, maybe at a coffee shop, or wherever you enjoy being, to be able to have your own thoughts, and perhaps write them in a journal. It is okay to be mad at God, He understands. Ask for support from all those close to you. I am so very sorry for your loss, and I hope and pray you will find people in your town who can help you feel with the overwhelming feeling you are feeling.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no universal time table for the process. I will pray for you and your children. Best Regards, Elizabeth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. May the Lord our God bless you and your children abundantly. Stay strong dear Kay.

We are having a birthday party tomorrow to celebrate a baby who died before he was born. The family is very close to us and my five year old son took it really hard, I think partly because he is so close to his own little sister and better realizes the enormity of their loss than he might otherwise.
He has been struggling and it was really important to him that this baby should have a birthday party we gave his sister a family birthday party when she was born. I needed this. I just miscarried last week. I had my tubes tied so I did not think I would be pregnant again. I seen the embryo in the toilet. I am trying to figure out what I need to help heal.

I pray daily for God to give me and our two boys strength each and every day. Marie, I also found great comfort looking through these scriptures this evening. I lost my husband in December after an illness. I have two young daughters. You are right — God makes no mistakes — and he certainly has a plan that included our husbands going home when they did.

My girls and I have made progress and will continue to move forward — but, I will use my difficult times to remember you in prayer….

I was speaking with her husband and he told me he had [Gone through hell and back] and I told him that he must keep good his faith in the LORD GOD he alone can help him n his time of griving.

I want to be able to comfort him with the word of God. My brother passed away on March 9th, unexpectedly in his sleep.
Please note this is a. The enemy of our soul according to the bible have come to steal, kill and destroy. I lost my father to suicide the same day I got my High School diploma, which was perhaps a bit of a bigger deal given I quit school in the 8th grade, never went to High School.
However, when I turned 18, I met the Lord after Jesus physically healed my best friend since the 3rd grade and shortly after began working on completing high school at night while learning the Electrical Contrscting Trade during the day… I even began working on applications to Univetsities and was accepted to the actual one I really wanted to attend as the Lord opened the door.
Only I never told my father I was working on my high school degree at night because I was afraid to let him down if I failed… Nor did I tell him about my acceptance to college contingent on my high school degree.
I received a letter in the mail on a Friday morning from the a High School telling me I passed High School and could pick up my Diploma anytime, The day I received that letter I showed my Christian boss, he said we were going to only work a half day Monday and then go get my diploma together. I had my own apt and lived on my own back then but went to visit my father Friday night to set up a time on Monday eve that I could come see him and put the actual Diploma in his hands, I never told him Friday because I wanted it to be a big surprise that I had finally accomplished something he could be proud of.
Only when I got out of the shower, it was my aunt and she said the police were at her house and needed to speak with me. They proceeded to tell me my father was dead and that I was next of kin and therefore would need to meet them to identify, sign papers and retrieve his belongings. I was 18, totally freaked out, went from the highest day of my life to the lowest in a split second. My father unfortunately unbeknownst to me he hid it well shot and killed his girlfriend that was over 20 some years younger and then shot and killed himself so Not only did I tragically lose my father whom I loved dearly, but never got to put my High School Diploma in his hands nor tell him I was accepted and leaving for college in less that 4 weeks at that point.
What was supposed to be 1 of the best all time days of my life, turned out to be the worst! Took many years, much guidance, counsel, wisdom,scripture-and a lot of years to overcome…. In short, it will take 2 things, the Lord and all those that genuinely serve him and he has lead to be there for you thru this crises, and secondly — time, real healing time!!! Unfortunately I received a lot of bad advice, such as the Dean of men at my University Christian college- originally titled Bible college told me, my father was in hell and I just needed to get over it and move on….
That was back when I was young, dumb and impressionable and it took many years to work thru that terribly pathetic advice. Ok my friend, I pray the Lord strengthen you and fill you withHis living Word daily! If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Intense Concern Intense concern often manifests by being unable to think of anything else. Despair and Depression Despair and depression is a long period of grief, the most painful and protracted stage for the griever during which the person gradually comes to terms with the reality of the loss.
Recovery The goal of grieving is not the elimination of all the pain or the memories of the loss. Wikipedia There is not a right or a wrong way to grieve.
