Grief doesn’t come with instructions. When someone you love is gone, the sorrow, confusion, and questions can feel overwhelming.
What God Says About Your Grief is a gentle, biblically based resource by GriefShare designed to connect your pain with the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Each page invites you to bring your grief honestly before God and discover the hope and comfort He offers in His Word.
What you’ll find inside

What God Says About Your Grief is arranged into five main sections—Daily Life, Emotions, Relationships, Thoughts, and God—each containing short, approachable chapters. Rather than merely listing verses under a theme, this resource carefully sets the emotional and biblical context for each passage cited.
Inside you’ll find:
- Real situations you’re facing and Scriptures that speak to those experiences
- Personal stories, questions, and common concerns shared by grieving people and Scriptures that can help
- Passages of Scripture that highlight aspects of God’s character
- Profiles of biblical figures who endured various types of loss and sorrow
- A section on biblical lament, with guidance on how to write your own—and how it helps
Together, these sections offer you a steady companion for your grief journey—guiding you to God’s Word in the very places where you need His comfort most.
Whether you read it all at once or a little at a time, this book is designed to be flexible: Open it to the section that reflects what you’re feeling today, and let God’s Word meet you there. It can also be used as:
- A companion to a GriefShare group, helping you reflect between sessions (Not in a GriefShare group but interested? Find one here.)
- A resource to return to in the quiet moments when grief feels overwhelming
- A thoughtful gift to share with someone else who’s hurting
Even if you’re not ready to talk about your grief, this book can meet you right where you are.
