Brewed Theology "Good Grief: March 25, 25

Grief can be heavy, painful, hard and exhausting. Can it ever be good?

According to Dr. Tina Campbell, "linguists suggest that 'good grief' is a euphemism for 'Good God.' We believe in a good God who gives us the gift of grief and mourning as a process to heal and achieve a new sense of wholeness." As a natural response to losses of all kinds, grief is an inescapable art of being human. How could a deeper understanding of what grief is make it easier to endure, or to help someone else who is enduring it? What does our faith tell us about grief? At this Brewed Theology we will be reflecting on our  own experiences of grief and considering how mourning well can help us to live well.
