Give Gives a Common Language of Hope to Help Us
by Karisa Moore
Our stories may look different, but interwoven in each, is a choice to grieve with hope. My grief included anger, insomnia, and overwhelming fear of future loss. Yours may include self-doubt, ruminating on all the minute details of what if, guilt, fear, or depression. Grief will look different for each of us, but God gives a common language of hope to help us move forward through grief.
In the intro to each devotion, I look back on grief from the perspective of one who has been grieving for ten years. “Turning My Page” is adapted from my original public journal as I tried to encourage Jonathan’s friends and family by grieving with transparency. Here, you will find my thoughts, experiences, and personal study of scripture during the first days of grief.
You’ll see Isaiah 61 referenced in three different devotions. They are life verses that constantly remind me, suffering and sorrow are not the end of God’s story. May God gift you a core scripture to meditate on (repeatedly bring to mind) when tempted to despair. “Turning Your Page” sections include prompts, questions, suggestions, action steps, and prayers to encourage and spur you toward hope as you process your grief
“…it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death” (Philippians 1:20, ESV).
I turned the first page on my son’s death the day after his funeral, declaring to my friends with a whisper that I would not be defeated by grief.
Though my online presence had been minimal, I suddenly found a community of grievers comprised of not only my friends and family but Jonathan’s friends as well. Social media became my platform for journaling out loud as I began to share my grieving-with-hope journey.
My brain, caught in the throes of shock, could not process any new information. God had developed a foundation of prayer, scripture, and friendships eighteen years before the crisis of his illness and suicide. Those habits were crucial in grieving with hope. I could not gain ground in my grief, but I held fast to the truth I already knew about my God. I resolved to stay present, no matter what tears or pain might come.
Turning My Page (my online journal)
My heart hurts beyond belief. I try to read scripture, but my mind fails to absorb it. Lord, a bit of “osmosis” would be good right now. My goals for the day are going to the gym, having at least one laugh, and sharing this page.
Turning Your Page
Maybe scripture reading is difficult today, or all you can do is cry out in your pain. Take the first breath. Hydrate. Be present in your circumstances. Shock is a gift. Loss of this magnitude is too much for your body to process. Let your mind and body have free space to work according to need and capacity.
- List one thing that you physically need right now.
- What do you know about the character of God?
- Find a few encouraging scriptures, either ones you know or some in this book. Dwell on those verses and repeat them out loud. Write them down. Hold fast to what you already know to be true.
Pray with Me:
Lord, I am in shock. May you be enough for me today. Amen. (Playlist: “Held” by Natalie Grant)

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and having more money is often seen as a vital tool of life. I’m Jeffery Vargas and for spell expertise, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation but after connecting with Lord Meduza he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 MILLION by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence.

Recovered 14.8 BTC Through Professional Crypto Recovery Services
In the beginning of 2026, while trying to rebuild after significant financial setbacks caused by the global crisis, I decided to explore binary options and forex trading. Sadly, I fell victim to a scam and lost 14.8 BTC. The experience was devastating and left me emotionally drained and discouraged.
After seeking advice from my attorney, I was directed to contact TREK Tech Corp (Email: [email protected] or [email protected]), a firm that focuses on cryptocurrency and digital asset recovery. Their team acted swiftly, overcame the exchange platforms’ 2FA security, and managed to recover my lost funds.
Their expertise and professionalism in crypto recovery are exceptional, and I feel extremely fortunate to have found them when I did.
I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and I lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren’t for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

I used those numbers to buy a lottery ticket, and to my complete surprise, all six numbers matched the winning draw. I won $2,900,000,000.
