“On the surface, Advent as a grieving person feels like salt in an open wound — a season of celebration and togetherness that begs us to “be merry and bright” when all we feel is the agonizing absence of what was lost. But if we dig a bit deeper, because of Jesus, Advent is an opportunity to press into our longing and in the depths of it find glimpses of hope.”
The heart behind the series:
On May 13th, 2022 two ugly words obliterated my life, “daddy died.”
When the holiday season rolled around, I was only six months into life without my dad, still in the violent throes of acute grief. I did not know how I was going to get through the holiday season without crumbling, let alone with an ounce of joy.
What I wanted – an advent devotional that would honor my grief, bear witness to my pain, and help me find hope and light in the season – didn’t seem to exist. Thus, the idea for An Advent Laced with Grief was born.
Tap here to read the full introduction for the series, where you’ll read more about my story with grief, and why I believe Advent is a unique opportunity for the grieving heart.
For the person filled with grief -
I see you.
I understand how much you’re hurting and how heavy this Advent season feels.
I wrote this series for you.
An Advent Laced with Grief is my way of coming alongside you as a gentle friend who gets it, listens to how you’re feeling, commiserates with your pain, and reminds you that even if you can’t see it right now, there is always hope.
I hope you join me, and I pray you find relief in it.
