Sadhguru How to deal with grief and loss of a loved one

[@Naomiholdennagata]

All those who have lost your loved ones.. it's going to get better. Stay strong. The world is with you.

[@monikaazariah9237]

You are right...it's been over 1.5 years...and I'll never move on but yes we have started moving forward....we remember my dad with joy and the example he has left🙏 behind

I am not at all convinced by the answer. I miss my mother every single second since last five years. It is a feeling which cannot be expressed. Like a lump in the throat , like a sunken feeling in heart , like a void.
Also I feel jealous whenever I see anybody with their complete family members all alive and healthy.

[@wiilover07]

Sorry for your loss.

[@bcdl7961]

I lost my mother a month back and I truly feel your pain. 🙏

[@englishchannel191]

yes i also disagree half of the things he said were true but half were very impractical for the people who are not in maya.... sometimes i feel that sadhguru is bewildered by maya!!!

[@pratzkmr58]

True.. he is not a human.... Is that nature of him in real too? Did he never get hurt loosing his or her loved ones

[@JewessChrstnMystic]

My aunt just passed away this morning, she was 46 years old.. complete shock.. she was spending the night with my mom and grandmother to spend some time, my aunt was helping my dad clean up his vomit after catching a bug last night.. she went to sleep last night, everything was great, having a good time and night and this morning she never woke up. . . I'm so absolutely devastated. It caught everyone off guard, completely knocked me off my feet... idk why she was taken so soon and young.. but I'm trying to trust in the living father. It hurts so badly and I'm SO terrified of death myself. Idk what awaits me on the other side. I just want to be with the most high and my loved ones and all my fellow loving humans.

Wisdom comes from God, not a man. This is a story that happened to my best friend's family. I am trying to share it with everyone I can because they know where true peace, hope and comfort is found. God bless anyone that has lost a loved one!
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

Unexpected death of the loved one is very difficult to handle

[@ital1489]

We learn many things from the death of a loved one. How much we cherish them, uncondition love, all of our mistakes, failures and our happiness together. So much regret and sadness, knowing that we took our time together for granted. I learned to always cherish my family and be there for them. To be positive, overcome hardships and protect them. It hurts so much, we are left heartbroken, but we must have love for the ones who leave us in our hearts. Death is a part of life. Through it all though, I always want to do the best for the ones whom I love and want them to be at peace. I've also learned from experiencing the death of someone very dear to me that I must be positive, kind and respectful to everyone.

[@organicbrain7029]

Sadhuru shouldn't compare loss of loved one to loss of job or money..if you loose a child/parent/husband/wife the pain will never go away.If you loose a job you can always find another one.

[@riasaha757]

Totally agreed 👍

[@riasaha757]

Life can never be compensated with money...

[@nikki8022]

True

[@queenofthousandmoons2231]

He’s saying that that person filled your life because they were life. Other things won’t be able to allow you to cope unless you cope with the loss with love and memories and allowing yourself to release the grief as it comes so you can continue with those parts of your life that have equal but different value. You need money and things to function so they are valuable but this value isn’t tangible but personal which is held within your mind and body and experience

[@vachanaseetharam]

Exactly I felt the same !! loss of loved ones can never be replaceable 😒

[@sherinbarakat5791]

It’s been almost 2 years... some days are better than others. Today was no good... searching the Internet cause I have no one to talk to about this hole in my heart... someone fix it... I can’t stop the tears, I can only cry out, loudly... wailing. This hurt is something I never felt before... there is no cure, but I know tomorrow will be better... after all... I have been dragging thru life without you for almost 2 years 😔

[@user-lp1fu3pv3h]

Your loved one doesnt want you to cry, make his soul happy by being happy, he cries when you cry, he is worried for you. Dont rush to go there where she is, you will meet one day, but not now, you have a destiny to furfill here. That person loves you, and is scared for you when he sees you driving yourself to an early grave. Love yourself with that love she loved you with, let her soul come from within you next time you cry and comfort her: "Dont worry about me, i will just let the tears flow out but i will not wail non-stop, dont worry, i will be strong and find my happiness again for you to be happy with me" Let the grief pass like a waive and dont dwell on it. Your loved one wants you to be happy, so take good care of yourself, and make him happy. He became God, now you have personal connection to the father in the sky and mother earth.

[@tixlazarov]

Praying for you! You are not alone!

[@leefranklin8481]

It won’t go away you just learn to shift and hold it in so you can get through the day and release it when you get a moment to yourself. My mom died 14 yrs ago and it’s the same hurt and emptiness since the first day.

[@coreymichael1880]

It’s the fact my mum went through so much trauma when she was alive that hurts me so deep. Boyfriends (my own father) beating her to a pulp, hearing her scream, watching her alcohol abuse, losing her home and raising her children in a shelter, being robbed, having her kids taken away and then ending up in a bad crowd which intimately lead her to her end through trying heroin and crack for the first time while drunk. I will never forget that call at work in 2017. My heart aches tremendously, the torment of my thoughts are endless. she just wanted to be loved, protected and feel secure. She tried so hard but suffered so much. It isn’t simply getting over her death, it’s all the misery she went through beforehand, the role I played in being such a disrespectful son while I lived with her. The only solace I have is that I saw her 8 days before she died I was able to hug her and tell her that I loved her. Without that I don’t even know where I’d be today. I guess everyone’s situation with grief is different. I just feel like there is no way out and I just don’t wanna forget my mum. She’s my forever queen, I love you so much Karen Marie schorah ♥️

It’s been over 4 years since my father has gone missing from my life, my world. Every time I grow or gain something I miss his presence to continue to explore a life of my own. It’s difficult. Comprehending with the changes without him. But I couldn’t gain the new maturity of manhood without his loss. Since the loss of his earthly presence, I can only think now that his death is an ascendance for the two of us. Even with my uncle, his brother who also left earth bounds only 7 months after his passing. It was very hard times for me the years follow.
This man’s voice helped a lot in the time of weakness I felt just now. We all shared lost. Outwards and inwards it happens to me and you. Don’t feel so alone. This is the journey we all share. Move onward with love. And make best of what they started for you, from the smallest to great.

Young Rage,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I lost my Dad about the same time as you. He was a deep, strong, wise and super kind soul. He was also a gentle giant. I miss THAT kind of male energy in my life. I hear your pain.
As a female, we need the that counter balance on our lives. After all there is no ying with out the yang.(Asian philosophy). As a male, it must be even more challenging losing your male mentors, your patriarchal influences, and guides. It is painful. However, time can heal...as they're an integral part of your being. You keep them alive thru you and all you do. (I just lost my little chocolate chihuahua whom he adored). It feels the same.. and it is never easy..I believe their spirits are looking out for us. Creating a beautiful Universe.

I hope you're okay❤My grandma died yesterday. She was in hospital just slept and never woke up. She was like a second mother to me. In 20 years I never stayed without her more than a week. It hurts so bad I don't know how I will continue my life without hearing her voice. I would always think about making her proud whenever I attended any competition or exam so I'm left with no motivation to do anything. What's the point if I won't see her smile ever again. She was my earth angel. Idk if this pain goes away

@@ocharakau645 He's not too young to think about eternity. He is very mature for his age. Have you ever heard of the World Death Clock? It is a counter that calculates deaths per second, minute, hour, day, month and year based on records and statistics. It says that on average, over 150,000 people die every day and 56 million every year and I'm sure it is unable to keep up with all the recent war and riots happening. It is sobering to watch the numbers constantly climbing every second knowing those numbers mean the loss of lives. What if the next number was yours?

If you are basing it on anything other than your faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, you do not understand God's way to heaven.
The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Our sin separates us from God.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in hell.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute in the place of the sinner. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
There is no greater love than that!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must repent, change your mind and admit you are a sinner headed for hell. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must simply call on Him and ask Him to save you.
Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you that if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will!

Do you know Jane where you left yourself and your people in your previous lifetimes?? May be you had a dog or a cat or was attached to a crocodile, where are they now in this lifetime? Stop talking foolishly and grow up, before you write something, understand what life means, that is what Sadguru is trying to instill into your hard minds and break this barrier. He had personal losses and tragedies and see how cheerful and loving he still is. Is this not lesson enough ??

From my point of view, grief is one of the most cruel human experiences. Suffering a present grief from the loss of a beloved human being or animal, it is difficult to agree with the wisdom of sadhguru. I think i understand, that a "complete human being" cannot get in touch with grief. I definitely know now that I will never reach this state. Perhaps mind can explain and arrange with the loss of a beloved being after a period of time, but my heart will never learn to accept this. When waves of grief reach me, It hurts by every single beat.

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

This is a story that happened to my best friend's family. I am trying to share it with everyone I can because they understand where true comfort, peace & hope is found. God bless anyone that has lost a loved one!
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

Your words about grief comforted me as I began to understand what was hurting me--the incompleteness.Thank you.

[@bernardogabrielpliego-garc5861]

One minute into this I feel calm in my soul, Sadhguru knows the human condition very well.

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

But he doesn't know Jesus. Jesus is our only hope in this life. Have you ever heard of the World Death Clock? It is a counter that calculates deaths per second, minute, hour, day, month and year based on records and statistics. It says that on average, over 150,000 people die every day and 56 million every year and I'm sure it is unable to keep up with all the recent war and riots happening. It is sobering to watch the numbers constantly climbing every second knowing those numbers mean the loss of lives. What if the next number was yours? Could you say that you are 100% sure that you would have a home in heaven? What are you basing that on? If you are basing it on anything other than your faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, you do not understand God's way to heaven.
The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Our sin separates us from God.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in hell.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute in the place of the sinner. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
There is no greater love than that!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must repent, change your mind and admit you are a sinner headed for hell. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must simply call on Him and ask Him to save you.
Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you that if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will!

I lost my grandmother years ago. I don't even remember when. I can't ask my mother because we are not that close. My mother doesn't evej know I still cry for my grandmother. When she first died I was an teenager and I kind of didn't care. Years have passed and I'm 21 now and I still cry. I don't know why because she lived in a different country. So she was far and died when I was little. Grief is interesting. As he said in a video. Maybe because I feel incomplete

[@hemantprasad9953]

100 million, quarter million died, they didn’t feed me, they didn’t raised me, they were not standing in my hard days... only my dad did and he matters me most or anyone who’s closes one dies

[@shardaali6426]

Death of a love one or family members is hard to accept. That is lifetime grief and emptiness that never seems to erase. It's like a hole in you that will never be closed. There is also the things that you torture yourself with from time to time the regrets, the if, the why not saying things to the person gone that you would have like then to know. These stuff keeps pounding and shooting at you and not to mention the good memories. It's really a difficult thing to carry with you each day but you have to talk to yourself now while you have life in you, remember you're the one who can feel hurt or happiness. You have the ability to live life and to love and to learn. Make a difference. Don't delay on what lies ahead of you. Once there is life in you and god's blessing that has been poured on you, you can do it. Live again....

[@lennysoenaryo4313]

Your words expressed my feeling. I lost my dad and a brother in 2 weeks due to covid, July 2021. Everyday, I think about my brother, miss him so much.

[@shardaali6426]

Hi...hope you find a way to cope with the situation at hand. You have the power in your hand to make the difference. It's okay to cry, to hurt, to miss someone when you know that person no longer going to be around in your life anymore, but at the same time you have to know when to get hold of your life before it takes a toll and on yours. Life is very short in these time no one knows what to expect enjoy your gift of life while it last. We don't know when ours can be taken.

Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

My boy friend's dad died yesterday(of a terminal disease) and I've been in grief.Obvioisly, I feel sorry for their loss, but what's not normal is, this particular person, his dad, I've never known him or talked to him not even seen him , yet I feel an overwhelming loss. Couldn't describe in words what I feel right now. An emptiness, a desire to fight the heavens and bring him back,a way to talk to him.I feel like I've lost family.I hope everyone including me recovers from grieving soon.

[@covegirl06]

It’s happened to me, too. All of my grandparents are dead. I didn’t feel an ounce of sadness or grief when either one of them passed. Mainly because I didn’t have a close bond with them… A few months ago One of my co-workers sister passed away unexpectedly. She was a young girl. I’d only met her once. But for some strange reason, I felt as if I’d lost a friend. Maybe because I just imagined how I’d feel if I lost my sister at such a young age (we’re very close). Just the thought of it made me depressed.

[@laheart1957]

My sister passed away exactly 13 days ago. She was diagnosed with a deadly disease - but 2 things . I was irrationally thinking of a miracle. Sometimes my heart would say that she’d be around a few more years. So when someone talks about the “Aathma” being eternal, and the body being just a “covering”it sounds like garbage.
My sister was a gentle person, soft spoken and never harmed even an ant..So I ask “Why her”? Everything seems so hollow, meaningless, and the grief and pain hurts.
Suddenly it’s all over. There is no God, and if there’s one, he’s cruel.

[@DaphneMaine]

Regardless of who says whatever I insist on believing that I will join my husband again when I transition and will carry this determination through my transition. Physicists and gurus are telling us that there is so much we don't know about the greater awareness....so I am creating what I want....who knows .....what I want I am creating...

[@leksh9723]

Even I have the same thought

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

Have you ever heard of the World Death Clock? It is a counter that calculates deaths per second, minute, hour, day, month and year based on records and statistics. It says that on average, over 150,000 people die every day and 56 million every year and I'm sure it is unable to keep up with all the recent war and riots happening. It is sobering to watch the numbers constantly climbing every second knowing those numbers mean the loss of lives. What if the next number was yours? Could you say that you are 100% sure that you would have a home in heaven? What are you basing that on? If you are basing it on anything other than your faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, you do not understand God's way to heaven.
The Bible says that we are all sinners. When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect without sin, but they chose to disobey God and became sinful in nature. This sin nature was passed down to all humanity.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Our sin separates us from God.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
A holy, righteous God cannot allow sin into heaven. Sin must be paid for and God's price for sin is death, but not just a physical death, but a spiritual death which means separation from God forever in hell.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
In the Old Testament when man sinned, God required the sacrifice of a perfectly spotless lamb as a substitute in the place of the sinner. The blood of that lamb was only a temporary payment for their sin and so this had to be done often. Jesus Christ, God's Son took on flesh, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as that perfect, spotless Lamb and shed His blood as payment for the sins of the whole world.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus loved us so much He WILLINGLY came and allowed wicked men to spit on Him, mock Him and scourge Him until He was unrecognizable. They stripped him naked, thrust a crown of thorns on His head and nailed His hands and feet to a cross. He hung in agony for hours bleeding, thirsting, struggling for every breath. He died innocently in our place so that we could be saved from going to hell. It was His blood that satisfied the just demands of a holy God. God will not accept anything else.
There is no greater love than that!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The good news is that Jesus didn't stay dead in the grave. He came back to life 3 days later just like He promised and He still lives today!
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Jesus did all this because He wants to give you the FREE gift of eternal life in heaven with Him!
You cannot do anything to earn your own way into heaven. You can't work for it, be baptized for it, go to church for it or try to be good enough for it. It is a FREE gift that God is offering to anyone who will simply receive it by faith.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God said there is only one way to get to heaven, but it is not hard. You must repent, change your mind and admit you are a sinner headed for hell. You must believe that Jesus died and paid for your sin with His own blood on the cross, was buried and 3 days later rose from the dead. Then you must simply call on Him and ask Him to save you.
Romans 10:9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
None of us deserve God's mercy and grace, but let me warn you that if you reject His FREE gift, you are already condemned and when you die, you will suffer the torment of burning in hell for eternity in a lake of fire where you will be forever separated from God and all that is loving and good.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Please don't wait. Don't take the risk of putting it off until another day, repent, turn to Christ NOW wherever you are at because you aren't guaranteed to live another day on this Earth. Believe God's Word, ask Him to save you and He will!

Remember a car accident is an accident. The reason why one could not have saved someone from a car accident is because and accident happened. I hope this makes you feel a bit less guilty cause just as something good has happened in the past by accident, something bad has happened "by accident". That's why they call it an accident { it was not on purpose}. Stay strong. I will appreciate my dog much more because of your comment.

Kathy Roark : Yes you must be in so much suffering. Isn’t it so beautiful to profoundly love so much .. to grieve and grieve for you have a reason too. Finally. I have come to terms with my loss. I asked God alone ( I pray only to him ) to help me. I stopped even listening to Saguru , stopped listening to the greedy bible pusher pastors who are making millions. God told me to just pray to him alone for he is King. I do like Saguru above anyone else but God is God . I just pray to God just me and him. I know your losses are now in a better place free of pain and suferring . Yes I continue to grieve looking at Maury’s pictures while talking to him. He’s always with me. They will never leave us and we will meet them all in the ethereal life .Please simplify your life and pray only to God . Just talk to him like you would to your husband and Son

[@akshathan751]

A family member lost her 16 year old son due to an accident. Her husband witnessed it , and then he had to tell her what happened. Her younger son was there too and saw parts of the accident. I awakened a few years go, so I am aware of a few aspects of physical expression, of time, of knowing, etc., but Sadhguru expressed it so beautifully, so lovingly, when he spoke of how to talk to someone who experienced the loss of a loved one, and I may be paraphrasing, but to speak to them of sweet things, to care for them because they broken, to know that now is not the time to speak to them of truth...thank you, Sadhguru.

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

The truth is that Jesus loves you more than you could ever want to be loved.This is a story that happened to my best friend's family. I am trying to share it with everyone I can because they understand where true comfort, peace & hope comes from. God bless anyone that has lost a loved one!
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

I think what he means is that grief leaves you feeling empty regardless of the circumstance. Whether you grief for a loved one or a lost job..both leave a hole in your heart..some losses might just leave bigger holes.

[@alicialyons9901]

Like I said I paused it and what he said is true that's nice to know that someone realizes that it's nice to know because you can't talk about the person that you that has died because nobody wants to talk about it it's an old memory they were never alive they were never there it was just a dream even though it was reality I think that's what hurts the most and it was real but people don't want to say that's real

Are you ok now?

[@anneteli]

Grieving a burning house, grieving not being successful etc is very different from grieving the loss of a loved one....all types of grieving are not the same....even if we dont associate anything with the divine or if we do...honestly it doesn't make much of a difference.....people say time heals but time just makes one stronger to carry on with that grief....it is earthly to lose life but it will hurt and it will break your heart and that is just the truth....you will have your days or moments of heartache how much ever time passes and that is ok...every being has suffering in their lives.....you are not alone....we need to accept that and we need to understand it is ok to grieve
