But take the time to reflect on the comfort He offers us, too. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Sometimes, the tears of grief are really a prayer, even when there are no words.
Tears help wash away some of the grief.
If feels like there is a bottomless well of tears, especially when our grief is fresh. Tears will come when you least expect them. It s natural to start isolating yourself a little or even a lot so as not to have to deal with public displays of grief. You may even find that after a week or two, no one much wants to hear about your grief except those who grieve with you or have experienced a similar kind of grief. The loneliness of grief starts to compound.
