Winter Grief Support Series

- Our Communal Experience of Global Grief
  
  by Angie Malmgren, MS Pastoral Care, Certified Spiritual Director
  
  First of all, I believe that we are all in the throes of a global grief crisis where we have experience multiple losses: The loss of the normal rhythm of our lives where we are constantly making changes to our routines and those of our family’s situations. Those who live alone are experiencing isolation and the loss of the human contact of loved ones and friends. Some have lost jobs. Children have lost their school routines and social contacts with classmates. So we are grieving what was and are lamenting what we’ve lost. It’s hard to see what we’ve gained in that mental and emotional chaos we’re plowing through. This may describe our experience of sadness of what we’ve lost. It may also describe our longing for a deeper stability, a deeper security. This is where I believe faith in the presence of Christ within us enables us to open our heart, asking for the light and we need to stay hopeful in the midst of this pandemic. Psalm 34/18 reads: The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in Spirit. I pray this is so for each of us as we draw close to Christ!
