The Trauma of the Loss

Understanding What Happens When We Hurt

Scripture focus: Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

Loss can leave us feeling as though life has suddenly moved beyond our control. The death of someone we love, the loss of a relationship, disappointment, rejection, or another painful experience can overwhelm us emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. Healing does not mean pretending that the loss did not happen. Healing begins when we acknowledge what happened, recognize what it affected, and begin bringing those wounded places into the presence of God.
