As you grieve.

As I celebrate the living of my loved ones which Christ has permitted.

I also remember those grieving over those they love.

I can never say do not cry anymore, for we get rid of pains in several ways.

But I hope in your grieving, you find enough peace to hold on to.

I hope in your tears, there would be moments of love.

Both in Old scars or new wounds.

I have never felt this type of storm;the heavy torment of losing someone who was greater in flesh.

But I hope in your tears, there would be no more gash.

That you would not hold on to what if’s.

That as you slowly grieve your shock and stand in denial of the sand covering your loved one, I hope that you understand their spirit lives with the Living One.

In this moments, condolences are not enough, not even love or hugs.

But we long to see your strength restored.

In this valley that you stand, only Christ can be enough. 

As we place our hands on your shoulders and depart, you are left to stand in the dark.

We can never see the intent of your heart.

Grieve all that you can.

But let your sorrow last for the night, Allow your joy come in the morning.

I pray you recognize your morning.

I hope that you never grieve till the world ends.

I pray you gather strength to still love and trust the God who is God enough.

All of these are my words of love.

My deepest condolences.

Do stay strong for us.
