There’s a perfectly good reason why grief is so often described as the waves of an ocean. It’s because of the way grief ebbs and flows…
Have you experienced it in that way?
It helps us to paint a picture of the feelings of grief. And it helps us to better understand the answer to the question, when will this grief end?
With grief being the natural response to loss and the cost of love as some say, many believe grief never ends. But I believe, grief does end to some degree. I believe we don’t have to wait for Heaven in order to experience a reprieve from grief here on earth.
So, I believe grief does end.
And maybe you’re like, wait, what?
Yes, I believe it is possible to experience a reprieve from grief here on earth. I believe this because I have experienced it…I’ve experienced an end to the grief I was experiencing in some instances to some degree. And instead of the grief, I began to experience the calm, peace, and comfort from the Lord within my soul, my heart, and my mind.
But here’s the thing, our world is broken.
We can experience the end of grief.
But the problem is, we live in a broken world, with broken people, carrying with us our broken things.
So, although grief ends at times, it also begins, again and again.
Whatever your grief, it’s understandable to feel as if it will never end. But, I encourage you to remain hopeful it will end because we serve the One whose name is Hope…and His name is Jesus.
So, does grief end? Indeed, it does.
It just begins again and again.
But by the grace of God, He carries us through it all.
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19 NIV).
In Him,
Natasha
