Grief has a way of making the loss feel bigger than everything else.
And when your heart is hurting, gratitude doesn’t always come naturally.
But learning to notice what is still good—even in the middle of what is painful—can become an important part of healing.
When I’m struggling to think of something I’m thankful for, I use a simple practice: I go through the alphabet.
A… B… C…
For each letter, I find something I can thank God for. It might be a person, something in creation, a Bible verse, a memory, or something as ordinary as my morning coffee.
It doesn’t erase the grief. It simply reminds me that grief isn’t the only thing that’s true.
