17 Bible Verses for Grief: The Chapter Where Jesus Arrives Four Days Late
17 Bible verses for grief from the chapter everyone quotes two words of. John 11 has Jesus late on purpose, both sisters blaming him, God crying anyway.
Grief
Bible verses for grief and the loss of someone you love, read slowly: the laments, the tears at Lazarus' tomb, and the hope Paul offers without hurrying it.
Scripture gives grief more room than most of us expect. Whole psalms are complaint, Lamentations is five chapters of mourning, and Jesus wept at a friend's tomb knowing what He was about to do. The posts below stay with those passages instead of rushing past them to the comfort.
Start with the verses for grief and the loss of a loved one, then read the page on missing someone who has died if the hardest part is the months afterwards. If grief has settled into something heavier that will not lift, a grief counsellor or doctor can walk alongside your faith.
