00:00Getting Through Grief Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:07The Father is a merciful God who always gives us comfort.

00:12He comforts us when we are in trouble so that we can share that same comfort with others

00:16in trouble.

00:182 Corinthians 1 verse 3-4 Grief is the painful feeling of sorrow after

00:23a big loss.

00:25It comes in waves for some people.

00:28Sometimes a gentle tide, other times a big, crashing hurricane.

00:33Even when they seem happy, many teens suffer from depression.

00:37With all the goodbyes a military kid has to say, grief can grow bigger.

00:43It's not about just this move or this training separation, but also all the ones in the past

00:48that weigh on your heart.

00:50Jesus sees, and he grieves with you.

00:54Being separated from the people we love is very difficult.

00:58But Jesus understands and promises that joy will come again.

01:02There is always hope that your sad situation will get better.

01:06Until then, Jesus walks with you through the sorrow.

01:10Never buy into the lie that suicide or hurting yourself will stop the pain.

01:15Those are lies that Satan tells you.

01:18Hurting yourself only multiplies the pain for those who love you, and you miss out on

01:22so many incredible things that God has in store for you.

01:26During those very hard times, hold tight to the Lord and let him comfort you.

01:31He brings hope and healing, often through help from a loving parent, caring teacher

01:36or youth group leader, or a counselor or therapist.

01:40One day at a time, ask Jesus to help you get through the grief.

01:44With him by your side, better days are ahead.
