Holidays can feel so overwhelming when you have lost a loved one. You may ask how everyone can be so happy when I have lost this person.  

God knows your heart and what you are going through. Take comfort in the fact that He knows.

“The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

God is a God of comfort, and when you grieve the loss of your loved one, you are blessed. Don’t try to stuff your grief in a box.  

“Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.” Mathew 5:4
