Movement 8 of 12 · Days 214–244

Grief and Loss

Company in loss, with no rush to feel better.

Grief doesn't follow a timetable, and it isn't a sign of weak faith. This movement keeps you company through loss of every kind: a death, an ending nobody saw, a parent slowly changing, a faith or a place you've lost.

There's no rush here to feel better, and nothing is explained away. The days are calm and unhurried, written for the hours when even prayer feels like an empty room.

From the devotionals

The man of sorrows knows this road, and he walks it near you.

Day 215

This day has been carried, and the next one will be too.

Day 219

However your grief looks today, God recognises it as yours and stays near.

Day 237
