— “Grieving on purpose“. — “If I do not make my grief my own, I think that my grief would own me.” — The idea that by grieving on purpose, we stay connected to God and to those we have lost. You have made me ponder these thoughts. Such foreign ideas to someone who lives in a culture where grief is feared and avoided rather than welcomed. I think you are proposing that grieving on purpose, in Christ, is actually “life-giving”, instead of “life-draining” as we often fear. Reminds me of Jesus’s words — “I am come that you might have life ...”. May Jesus be your Life Source as you grieve.

Bless you and your family for you are on the front lines facing grief almost daily watching over those who are ill. But aren’t we all facing life and death every day? The longer we live we see our loved ones passing away and we grieve for those who didn’t know the Lord but for those who did we are joyful they are withJesus in heaven. Praise God that Christ brought hope to the dying. May he lift the burden of grief from your hearts. And replace it with His Love.
