I found Grazie Christie’s column, “A time to mourn,” in the Feb. 10 issue to be beautifully written. 

There is no set formula for grief to our soul! When you love deeply, you grieve deeply! You will eventually get through it at your own unique timing, but never get over your grief — that love is a part of you forever. 

God knows your pain, and wipes every tear as a Father who gave his only son for us. He wants us to draw near to him in our time of mourning.
