This is the part I'd usually put something fun, encouraging, or even share an eye-roll moment. But this time I can't do that. I'm gonna be honest here, and it's gonna hurt a little, but I know that you'll be able to relate.
Just a few short months ago, I lost one of my grandparents. Without knowing how the loss would affect me, I knew I could only hold onto my faith to help me push through it. And I know that he would want me to do just that. So hopefully, these scriptures for grieving people will speak to you like they did me!
Just two days before he passed, with family gathered around him, he was up and singing "Old Time Religion". Knowing that he was preparing his heart and his mind for Heaven still brings a smile to my face!
10 Scriptures for Grieving People
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted"
"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
"For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard."
"For the Lord will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men."

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
