We have unspoken rules about grief that, when you open the Bible, don’t appear to match God’s stance on grief. (“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” Matthew 5:4 is just one window into the promises for those who grieve). I wonder if we form these rules out of our fear of this ungentlemanly presence and what it might do and how long it might stay?
I wrote about grief in Chapter 6 of my new book (this is the chapter I have heard about most from readers).
