Grief Support Group - Day 288

Grief Support Group
Day 288

We encourage you to join a biblically based grief recovery support group to aid in your healing. It does not matter how long ago your loss occurred; grief support groups are for people at all stages of the grieving process.*

"It's in the sharing and the group's caring for each other that the healing is accomplished," says Dr. Jim Conway.

Healing is a mending together for the purpose of making something whole again. Your heart, mind, body can become whole and in excellent working condition again through Jesus. But healing does not mean there will be no scars. It means that you were once broken, but through time and effort you are being made whole again.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3).

Jesus, it's hard to imagine I will ever be healed. Help me to remember that healing is not forgetting, but it is remembering with love and tenderness and joy. Amen.
