Sitting in Grief

“The invitation of Good Friday is to sit in the grief, just as life often forces us to. For all of us, at some time or another, we experience an affliction that does not neatly pivot into hope. Sorrow is long, and suffering suffocating. And we need a category for that. We need to know that this type of sustained darkness is not outside the story of God, but actually belongs right in the center of it.”~sharonmiller

"For the true sufferer, the theologian of the cross has good news—news, mind you, not solutions.  It is the good news that, in the Crucified One, God has simply willed … the curse to be a blessing…” @Sarcasticluther



“Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.” ~ Brené Brown

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
