What Inspired This Grief Devotional
I mentioned before that I had been diligently working on a few projects that I was looking forward to releasing. This devotional is one of those projects I decided to create. When a devastating loss happens, everything becomes more difficult. If you’re anything like me, the words “faith” or “devotional” might feel like salt in an already gaping wound. I couldn’t pick up a Bible or pray very often. Tears replaced words in prayer, and reading Scripture felt like trying to understand a foreign language. But God has a way of showing up in ways you wouldn’t think he would even when you want nothing to do with Him.
Who This Devotional Is For
This devotional is for those struggling with faith in the midst of great loss. These are the passages I gravitated toward when nothing else made sense. It’s for those who are seeking honesty in suffering. There are no platitudes or clichés here—only truth you can grab onto. There’s no requirement to read or write anything perfectly. Take it one day at a time, one line at a time. Know that the author is someone actively walking this out with you—just another companion on this long and lonely journey called grief.
What You’ll Receive Over the 5 Days
It is my hope that this devotional provides a small comfort during your time of deep grief. Even if you’re angry with God—as I was and sometimes still am—I hope you’ll come to see that even in the silence, He remains. Each day includes a short Scripture and a prompt. They’re the passages I camped out in when I had no words. These reflections give you space to write what you may not be able to say out loud.

Why Faith Still Matters in Deep Grief
Early in my grief journey, I heard a story about a father and his wayward son. The son had been in and out of trouble for most of his life. This time, he had done something that carried serious consequences. The father told his son, “I know you don’t think so, but you need me now more than ever.”
If you’re like me, you may feel like God let you down. Prayers went unanswered. You weren’t asked your opinion on the decisions that were made. You’re angry, and maybe you don’t even know what you believe anymore. What I discovered is that despite all my anger—and there was a lot—I still needed God, especially now that my son went to live with Him far earlier than I ever imagined.
We’re not communicating with a God who is far off or hands off. We’re communicating with a God who is acutely aware of our suffering. It is my prayer that in your grief, you come to meet the ”Man of Sorrows, Aquainted with Deepest Grief.” Isaiah 53:2-4
