✨ Thinking about Abba today, thinking about grief

Run to Him

2024/11/12 Edited to

Grief is a universal experience that transcends cultures and ages. Understanding it through the lens of spirituality can provide solace. The term 'Abba' emphasizes the intimate relationship one can have with God, it fosters a sense of closeness and understanding during times of sorrow. The Aramaic origin of the term suggests a depth beyond the simple concept of 'Father.' When thinking about grief, it's helpful to consider how one's faith can shape their experience. Many find that embracing one's vulnerability and seeking comfort through prayer can aid in the healing process. Additionally, reflecting on meaningful words and concepts from spiritual texts can lend perspective, offering wisdom in challenging moments. Remembering personal stories or the ways God has acted in one’s life can also serve as a source of strength. Engaging with communities that share similar beliefs can provide further emotional support, making the journey of grief less lonely. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, love, and loss while maintaining a closeness to God that helps us heal.

This is what no one tells you about grief …

It’s November 11th, and like clockwork, I feel it coming…the weight before the date. Every year, I start bracing for impact. Questions flood my mind. Do I post a tribute this year? Do I even have the strength? What if I smile that day, will people think I’ve forgotten? What if I can’t get out
