We can never be ready for the loss of a loved one in this life. Death always comes as a shock, whether it is the result of prolonged illness or a sudden accident. We cannot emotionally prepare ourselves for the death of loved ones or ourselves. Every death results in a loss. And there will be sorrow for each loss.
Culture urges us to rush through this phase. Even though grief is an unpleasant season, it is an essential component of our recovery. Running away from grief entails running away from the one thing that can make our loss's agony go away. Our real solace and tranquility can only be found in God's shalom.

Grief can happen for more than just death of a loved one. When we give our lives to God, our old self dies. But in order to move on from that life and move forward, we have to grief our past self. When we do this, we are beginning to move forward with Christ and leave our past behind us.

‭‭Romans 6:5-7 TLV‬‬ - [5] For if we have become joined together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also will be joined together in His resurrection— [6] knowing our old man was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be done away with, so we no longer serve sin. [7] For he who has died is set free from sin.

Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Psalm 147:3 - He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Psalm 77

Matthew 11:28-30-

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
