Approaching a New Year After Loss

As the calendar flips over and a new year begins, it can be challenging to know how to approach this new season after experiencing pain, trauma, or loss. It's natural to feel a sense of uncertainty and fear about leaving things behind in the past year. However, it's important to honor and recognize the pain and acknowledge the emotions associated with it. Taking time for personal reflection and journaling can be helpful in the healing process. Lamenting and pouring out your pain to God is a powerful way to find comfort and hope. It's also essential to focus on the things within your control and take proactive steps towards healing. This could include seeking counseling, investing in physical health and well-being, and finding supportive community. Remember that healing takes time, and it's important to trust in God's faithfulness and His redemptive plan for your life.
