God can handle whatever you direct towards him. Utilize the Holy Spirit to question, pray, vent, and process. We have a Comforter, given to us when we become believers ( John 14:16). By engaging in prayer for the loss of a child, we may receive this comfort from God. God intends to walk with you through your suffering, grow you in your suffering, and deliver you from it. There’s some good news for you if you suffer from losing a child. ![]() He loves us like a parent, and he feels loss like a parent. Everywhere Jesus went, he drew close to the brokenhearted and oppressed. Jesus himself was called “the Man of Sorrows.” He wept over Lazarus’ death at the tomb ( John 11:35), he raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead in front of her distraught parents ( Mark 5:41-42), and he lamented over Israel’s rejection of him as the Messiah, saying, “I have longed to gather you … like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not” ( Matthew 23:37). God does not expect you to accept the loss of a child without feeling the overwhelming weight of loss and confusion. Spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. So if you’re a parent who has lost a child, whether the loss occurred through miscarriage, crib death, disease, accident, suicide, violence, or natural causes, your child’s death has produced enormous trauma and grief for you. ![]() No parent can fathom losing a child, no matter what age the child is. The loss of a child is likely the greatest tragedy on earth. ![]()
