Grieving Our Loss

There probably isn't a better word to describe our collective experience over the last two years than the word "loss." At one time or another, for one person or another, COVID has taken nearly everything: economic security, health, loved ones, friends, community, weddings and funerals, school and graduations, stability and safety, personal freedom, future dreams, among other things. And every single one of these losses comes with its own grief, the unpredictable and emotional heaviness of letting go. No one has been left untouched. Where is God in the midst of all of this loss? And how can we make it through all of the grief that has come with COVID?
