📖 Introduction
Grief is a profound emotion that touches every heart when we face loss, especially during the final days of a loved one. Saying goodbye is never easy, and as a family, coming together to reflect and pray can bring strength, healing, and peace. This devotional invites you to journey through seven days of Scripture, thoughtful reflections, and earnest prayers designed to support you and your family as you navigate sorrow and find hope in God’s comforting presence.
Throughout these days, we will explore how the Bible speaks into grief with empathy and truth, revealing God's promises to carry our burdens and offer eternal hope. You’ll discover that grief is not a journey we walk alone; God is intimately present, and your family community is a source of love and support. Use this time not only to process the painful emotions but also to cherish memories, express honest feelings, and strengthen your bonds.
Each day’s reading includes a primary Scripture passage and supplemental verses to deepen your understanding. The devotionals invite you to reflect on God’s heart toward those who mourn, encouraging openness and trust. Reflection questions and journaling prompts can help each family member share their thoughts and emotions, creating space for meaningful conversation.
Moreover, the prayers each day uplift your collective spirit, asking God to grant peace, comfort, and the assurance that death is not the end but a gateway to eternal life with Him. Whether you read this devotional individually or as a family, may it be a balm for your soul and a reminder that in our darkest moments, God's love shines brightest.
Let us begin this sacred time of saying goodbye with hope and faith in the One who heals all wounds. 🙏💖
