Today's Scripture: Romans 12:15 **Today's devotional is in response to listener requests.** In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook reflects on the holy work of mourning with those who mourn. She explores why grief often needs presence more than advice, and how attunement, co-regulation, and the way of Jesus help us sit with sorrow without rushing to fix it. We explore: *Why grief can feel so isolating *What it means to offer attuned presence instead of advice, fixing, or forced comfort *Why co-regulation helps a grieving person feel less alone *How Jesus responds to grief *How to sit with the grieving parts of your own soul with tenderness and love Go Deeper: Episode 133: Navigating the 6 Stages of Grief with David Kessler Episode 98: Why Your Grief Matters and How to Support Those Who Are Grieving with Chaplain JS Park Learn more about your ad choices.
