Reflection Questions:

Who do you know who is grieving? How are you being called to accompany them in their grief?

What has made you felt supported as you have grieved in your life?

How do you react when someone is hurting and blames God for what they have experienced?

What prevents us from crying with one another?

How can we create space, as the church, for each other to grieve?

Prayer:

Lord, help us to be a community that loves one another in the midst of heartache and grief, we pray. Amen.
