Handling Grief: A Christian’s Ongoing Journey with Loss

We men want to be seen as tough. Be leaders. Show strength.And that is good.But when a loss of your most profound love strikes, it is okay to let yourself go and cry. I remember crying at the funerals of loved ones. I also remember speaking at four of those funerals and realizing how hard it was to express what I truly felt and not weep in front of the gathered mourners. But as one of my pastors once taught, we have the perfect teacher in Jesus. At Lazarus’ grave, Jesus wept.And He knew that Lazarus was going to be back in five minutes!
