What Scripture Helps in a Time of Mourning?
Ecclesiastes 3:4 tells us there is 'a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.' God gave you the ability to grieve because mourning is holy — it reflects how deeply you loved.

Romans 12:15Going Deeper
Mourning is not the absence of faith — it is the presence of love. Jesus Himself wept at the tomb of His friend Lazarus. There is a season for grief, and God does not rush you through it.
