Grief & Loss

I lost someone I love and feel completely shattered. Where is God in this?

I'm grieving a miscarriage and feel like no one understands the depth of this loss.

My marriage ended in divorce and I feel like a failure. How do I move on?

I'm watching a parent fade with dementia. How do I grieve someone who is still alive?

A friendship ended suddenly and without explanation. Can that kind of loss be grieved too?

I lost my job and with it my sense of identity and purpose. How do I rebuild?

My mother died in the spring and the days since have been unmanageable. Getting up, eating, answering messages: none of it works the way it used to. What do I actually do?

We buried our son this year. People keep telling me time helps and I want to scream at them. Is there anything in scripture that does not insult this?

The person I lost never believed any of it, and that thought wakes me at three in the morning. Is there anything honest I can hold on to here?

I am furious with God about this death, and then I feel guilty for being furious. Is anger like that even allowed?

It has been four years and I still get flattened out of nowhere. Everyone around me moved on a long time ago. Is something wrong with me?

He died before I could say the things I needed to say. Now there is a hole where the goodbye should be and I replay it constantly.

My husband died last year and the house is unbearably quiet. I do not know how to be a person on my own. Where do I even start?

I had my dog put down and I am grieving harder than I expected. I feel ridiculous telling anyone. Is this a real loss?

She was fine on Tuesday and gone on Thursday. There was no warning at all and my head will not accept it. How do people live with something that sudden?

Losing her knocked out something I thought was solid. I still turn up to church and I am not sure I believe any of it now. Is that my faith over?

My sister lost her husband and she is furious at God. I do not know what to say and I am frightened of saying the wrong thing.

I have gone hard since the funeral. I can hear it in how I talk to people. How do I bring that to God instead of hiding it?

My brother died and everyone keeps asking how my parents are holding up. Nobody asks about me. How do I grieve a sibling?

I was in the room when he died and I cannot get the last hour out of my head. It plays on a loop. How do I live with what I saw?

Christmas is coming and it will be the first one without her. I am dreading it more than I dreaded the funeral. How do I get through that day?

It has been three months and the meals and the messages have stopped. Everyone else is back to normal and I am still in it. How do I handle this stretch?

Everyone around me is crying and I feel nothing at all. I have not cried once since he died. Does that mean something is wrong with me?

I laughed properly for the first time last week and then felt sick about it afterwards. Does letting myself feel better mean I am letting her go?

My father died and our relationship was a mess. I am grieving him and still angry at him and I have no idea what to do with both at once.

I have to clear out his house this month and I cannot make myself open the wardrobe. How do I do this without it feeling like erasing him?

I am eighty one and nearly everyone I grew up with is gone. There is no one left who remembers the same things I do. How do I carry that?

I need to know where she is right now. Not the theology, just: is she alright? What does the Bible actually say about this?

Years of trying, and every month is another small funeral that nobody else attends. Is there anything in scripture for a loss shaped like this?

My daughter cut off contact two years ago and she is still alive somewhere out there. How do you grieve someone who has not died?

We lost the baby and every single person asks how my wife is. I am the one making the calls and nobody has asked me once. Where do I put this?

I organized the funeral, sorted the estate and held everyone together. It is six months on and I still have not cried. When does my turn come?

My husband died and our children are seven and ten. I am barely upright myself. How do I help them grieve when I am in pieces?

People at church keep telling me she is in a better place and it makes me want to walk out. Why do the right answers feel so hollow?
