      What The Bible Says About Grieving - Barbour Publishing

      Hope

      INTRODUCTION

      UNINVITED GRIEF

      The heartache of grief can come from many places: a death, a divorce, or even the loss of a dream. These losses can cause tremendous disappointment and pain. And while these dark valleys change our lives forever, we are not meant to wallow in a state of endless depression. Instead, the process of grieving can keep us from becoming permanently crippled by loss, helping us to continue to walk through it.

      Counselors have identified five stages of grief: (1) denial, (2) anger, (3) guilt, (4) depression, and (5) acceptance. Each stage represents a natural response to loss. People who are grieving will work through these stages in their own order and on their own timetable. While this book is not a road map through these stages, it does contain verses that can strengthen your spirit as you experience this difficult time. Turn the pages of this book and begin to find ways God’s Word can be a salve to your wounded spirit.

      CHAPTER 1

      YOU’RE NOT ALONE

      I sat numbly at my husband’s graveside and wished for the pain to go away. I wanted so badly to share the heartache with my best friend. But that friend now lay lifeless, unable to listen or respond to the pain his death had caused me. He had left this life without a final good-bye, and I just wasn’t ready to part ways. I had much more to tell him, and we had much more life to share. In the days to come, it meant so much to have other people around. And while they couldn’t take away the pain, it was nice to have people nearby even if they were only able to listen, hug, and cry along with me.

      BELIEVING IN A GOD WHO CARES

      You don’t need to cry anymore. The LORD is kind, and as soon as he hears your cries for help, he will come.

      ISAIAH 30:19 CEV

      For this is what the high and lofty One says—he who lives forever, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

      ISAIAH 57:15 NIV

      You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

      PSALM 139:3 CEV

      GOD keeps an eye on his friends, his ears pick up every moan and groan.

      PSALM 34:15 MSG

      He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

      PSALM 18:16 NIV

      I’m still in your presence, but you’ve taken my hand.

      You wisely and tenderly lead me, and then you bless me.

      PSALM 73:23–24 MSG

      Come near to God and he will come near to you.

      JAMES 4:8 NIV

      The beloved of the LORD rests in safety—the High God surrounds him all day long—the beloved rests between his shoulders.

      DEUTERONOMY 33:12 NRSV

      The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.

      JEREMIAH 31:13 NLT

      Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

      PSALM 73:25 NIV

      FOLLOWING A GOD WHO KNOWS YOUR PAIN

      Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him.

      JOB 13:15 NIV

      Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

      2 CORINTHIANS 1:3–5 NIV

      Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

              We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could
