"Who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." Most know that seeing a loved one die is a hard thing, especially if there is a close bond. Currently there are so many people dying in this global pandemic. The death of loved ones often takes its toll on those left behind, and at times it can feel like grief is never ending. For some, an important part of the healing process comes with scripture. Whether it’s for private reading and reflection or as a message to include on a sympathy card, the Bible has plenty of meaningful verses to comfort the grieving.
If faith is a big part of your life or the life of your loved one, it can significantly help with the healing process. Bible verses have been used through centuries as a way of making sense of a tragedy and ultimately helping to heal.
We want to help by providing you a list of some of the most powerful Bible verses about grief and losing someone.
