   What bible verses, famous quotes, or words of encouragement did you hear while in grief?
   
   What bible verses, famous quotes, or words of encouragement were meaningful/beneficial for you in your grief?
   This question is asked of those who have lost a love, a child, parents, siblings, a husband, etc.  Comfort is something that only comes in time, but what words stood out for you and where did they come from?

   Hi! When I'm lonely, weary and depressed, I read these verses over and over again until I feel okay again..."Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, reminds us that there is "A Time for Everything"....
   
   There is an appointed time for everything.  And there is a time for every event under heaven ~
   2 A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
   3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
   4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
   5 A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.
   6 A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
   7 A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
   8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace.
