(Ver debajo para español)

Grief is the sense of loss we can feel at different times in our lives over various matters, but more intensively with the loss of a loved one.

Faith can help us cope with grief, however, it never eliminates it because grief is a product of love. John 11 illustrates this in the account of Lazarus’ death. Jesus, as true Man, wept over his death. That momentary separation caused Him pain, even though He knew He had the power to bring Lazarus back to life.

As human beings, we experience emotions deeply. Thus, when someone passes away, a funeral or a memorial service can help with the grieving process and give us closure. However, in the current circumstances, those services cannot happen in the customary ways.

As a way to adapt, some could opt to have a restricted funeral, while others might prefer to wait until regular services resume. The uncertainty of when this might happen can cause various spiritual concerns.

In a funeral service, the body is returned to the earth and the soul is commended into the care of Christ – these words give us comfort as we are assured that the soul is in the hands of God. However, it is important to understand that the almighty God has already acted in the moment of death where the soul and spirit are taken into the realm in which they need to be, according to His will. The soul is not in limbo until we get around to having a funeral service. God acts because He cares for and loves all souls. He understands our grief and wants to comfort us.

ESPAÑOL

El duelo es la sensación de pérdida que podemos sentir en distintas ocasiones de nuestras vidas debido a diversas situaciones, pero de manera más intensa debido a la pérdida de un ser amado.

La fe puede ayudarnos a lidiar con el duelo, sin embargo, nunca lo elimina porque este es un producto del amor. Juan 11 ilustra esto en el relato de la muerte de Lázaro. Jesús, como verdadero hombre, lloró por su muerte. Esa separación momentánea le causó dolor, aunque sabía que tenía el poder de devolverle la vida a Lázaro.

Como seres humanos, experimentamos profundamente las emociones. Por lo tanto, cuando alguien fallece, un servicio de funeral o conmemorativo puede ayudar con el proceso de duelo y darnos cierre. Sin embargo, en las circunstancias actuales, dichos servicios no pueden realizarse de la manera habitual.

Como una forma de adaptarse, algunos podrían optar por tener un funeral restringido, mientras que otros podrían preferir esperar hasta que se reanuden los servicios regulares. La incertidumbre de cuándo podría ocurrir esto puede causar diversas inquietudes espirituales.

En un servicio de funeral, el cuerpo es regresado a la tierra y el alma es encomendada al cuidado de Cristo; estas palabras nos dan consuelo ya que se nos da la seguridad de que el alma está en las manos de Dios. Sin embargo, es importante entender que el Dios todopoderoso ya actuó en el momento de la muerte, donde el alma y el espíritu son llevados al ámbito en el que necesitan estar, conforme a Su voluntad. El alma no está en el limbo hasta que podamos realizar un servicio de funeral. Dios actúa porque Él cuida y ama a todas las almas. Él entiende nuestro dolor y quiere consolarnos.
