How do we support those experiencing loss?

Scripture:

John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me..."

2 Corinthians 4:14-18-

14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, so that grace, having spread to more and more people, will cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

"There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more powerfully than

ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love"
Washington Irving
