Hazel was crying in her room.\u00a0 <\/span>Again. <\/span><\/p>\n

It had been three months since her aunt had died from Covid, but she missed her. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hazel went downstairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMom\u2026\u201d said Hazel. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes?\u201d Mom asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think I\u2019ll see aunt Sophi in heaven?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Hazel wiped away tears. Mom smiled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t worry too much,\u201d Mom said, \u201cYour aunt loved Jesus. I’m sure you will see her again.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hazel tried to smile. “<\/span>I know, but I wish she were here. I remember her getting ice cream with me, and… And…\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hazel began to cry. Mom put her hand on Hazels back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s okay to cry. I cried a lot about it too. But one morning I opened my Bible and read Psalm 119:50. It says ‘My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.’\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hazel smiled. \u201cGod is my comfort that brings me life. I’m gonna be sad but I’ll manage. Thanks mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

~~~<\/p>\n

If you feel sad about something today, it’s healthy to cry.\u00a0 It’s also a good idea to talk to someone you trust.\u00a0 Tell them how you feel.\u00a0 Talking about sadness can help a lot too.\u00a0 And remember this: God wants to bring you comfort when you are sad.<\/p>\n

Tell him how you feel too.\u00a0 Read the Bible and ask him to help you trust his promises.\u00a0 Look around you for what is good in your life, even if it is very simple.\u00a0 This can help you heal in your grief.<\/p>\n
