“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Everyone’s “Season” of mourning is different. That’s because mourning isn’t uniform or simple. It’s a deeply personal and unique process as the person slowly moves towards a “new normal”. Our job then is to allow the person the time to do so. But we tend to judge their journey according to a loss we’ve experienced…or we’re so uncomfortable with their grieving process that we push them to just “get over it.” Neither is constructive, kind, or beneficial in helping the person. Psalm 31:15 tells us that, “all our times are in God’s hands.” for that’s where grieving and mourning are safest…in the refuge of our Heavenly Father’s most capable hands… as He gives all the time needed to heal. And so we must also follow that example of grace, mercy, and love in a nonjudgmental way.
