Comfort in times of grief

BY MICHELLE NANOUCHE

LIKE AS A MOTHER, GOD COMFORTETH HIS CHILDREN COMFORT IS CALM, THAT BIDS ALL TUMULT CEASE; COMFORT IS HOPE AND COURAGE FOR ENDEAVOR, COMFORT IS LOVE, WHOSE HOME ABIDES IN PEACE.
— MARIA LOUISE BAUM, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HYMNAL, NO. 174

Beyond mere coping, Christian Science shows a way out of grief, devastation, and death. This applies to us all. We are created by God, who is divine Life itself.
