Lampposts: Letters To The Grieving

  • "You are brave. You can do this. Night doesn’t come after night. Morning will break, and you will feel joy again. Just get to the next plot of light.”

  • “Left to one holy solution, grief is an invitation to intimacy with God that will reshape your life into one of simple devotion. As fire is to gold, so grief is to love.”

  • “Healing happens when we courageously face the reality of our pain, and encounter who God is for us in in it.”

  • “Grief can be the giver of a beautiful journey through a terrible time, a road that validates the needs of your heart as you navigate this season. Your heart matters, and grief gives you heart a voice.”

  • “Grief is an epic trek through an invisible world. It will lead you into unforeseen places, connect you with new people, teach you about life beneath the surface, and test the strength of your heart, most thoroughly. It will carve out a depth of your soul that you would never ask for, nor ever trade. Grief gives you its process. It is incremental and can be gentle.”

  • “Grief is holy and terrible, a gift and a tragedy. It is a friend, and an enemy, gentle and beastly. It is weird and synchronized, mysterious and plain. Grief is not easily tied down and defined. And yet for all it is an invitation to a glorious transformation.”

  • “To the Grieving, You are the heroes of our world.”
