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 receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I can’t think of anything more painful than losing a child. I know several people who’ve experienced this great loss and I share in their sadness and heartache. We will never know why God takes our child before us as parents, but it happens. The mixture of emotions and feelings can be overwhelming, but through time God can and does mend the brokenness.

Maybe you’ve experienced such a loss and the pain still seems as real as it did last year or 20 years ago. I don’t believe you ever heal from that moment of grief, but I do believe God can bring comfort in those moments when the memories take over and flood your soul with the sadness. The Holy Spirit works as a monitor in your life and request God’s help when you have no strength to cry out for help.. “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Romans 8:26

If you are heavy burdened in grief, God knows your pain and comes to you with His comforting hand to hold you. He often brings other people into your life to help you through those rough patches, rely on them as they are one of God’s tools of comfort. God loves you and He knows your loss, as He gave up His ONLY SON for you, so you can live with Him in Heaven. One day we all will be joined with our loved ones and the hope of that thought is enough to carry us on another day! God bless!
