Grief

Grounded Viewpoint

These stories of sudden loss, public grief, workplace displacement and the harm of online falsehoods call the church to both lament and active compassion—‘weep with those who weep’ (Romans 12:15) and ‘bear one another’s burdens’ (Galatians 6:2). Biblical truth also bids us guard speech and pursue healing in truth (Ephesians 4:15; James 3), while holding fast to the hope of resurrection and God’s presence in mourning (John 11:25–26; Psalm 34:18).
