Yesterday, I couldn’t  shake off the word “loss” from my heart. It was like a song on repeat, echoing in my soul.

Explaining how loss feels is like trying to describe colours to someone blind from birth. In fact the only way for someone to truly understand loss is for them to experience it themselves. But the pain you feel, deep emotions and sadness that grips your soul is so deep and intense that you rather no one else ever experiences the loss you have, not even your worst enemy.

Talking about loss can feel like walking through a minefield. Every step is heavy with emotion, every word a struggle. And all you are trying to do is avoid anything or anyone else that could trigger more emotions because the truth is, you just want to find a way to cope. But it’s crucial to find someone to share the burden with. You never know who might understand or offer a comforting word or shoulder to lean on.

Loss comes in all shapes and sizes, each one leaving its mark on our hearts. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, or a love that could have been, a dream, or a part of ourselves, the pain cuts deep. And truth is, so many of us have all experienced some form of loss. But amidst the darkness there’s a glimmer of hope in the form of community,  a beautiful support, love and strength that comes forth from community.

You don’t have to go through  the storm of loss alone. There’s strength in seeking help, in finding comfort in the arms and hearts of those who care.

Connect with someone that will pray with and for you. Because the only true comfort comes from our Heavenly Father, the God of all comfort who is very compassionate and merciful. And there is no better and safer place to be than in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
