When grief is so heavy you can't find the words to pray, you can borrow these.
Losing a child to suicide changes everything.
The questions. The guilt. The anger. The sleepless nights. The memories that bring both comfort and pain. Even your relationship with God can suddenly feel different.
You still believe. You still love Him. But sometimes your heart hurts too much to know what to say.
God, This Hurts: Honest Prayers for Christian Moms Grieving a Child Lost to Suicide was written for those days.
Written from one grieving Christian mom to another, this collection of short, heartfelt prayers gives words to some of the hardest emotions of suicide grief. Each entry includes a Scripture, a brief For Today encouragement, and an honest prayer you can make your own.
Inside you'll find prayers for the days when:
- You can't stop crying-or can't cry at all
- Guilt and the what ifs won't leave you alone
- You're angry with God, yourself, or others
- You feel numb, overwhelmed, exhausted, or alone
- You can't sleep or don't know how to pray
- Memories and reminders hurt
- You wonder if your child knew how deeply they were loved
- Church feels difficult and God feels far away
- You need strength, peace, or just enough hope to face another day
This isn't a book you have to read from beginning to end.
Keep it beside your bed. Carry it with your Bible. Open it to the prayer that matches what your heart is carrying that day.
You don't need perfect words.
You don't need to pretend you're okay.
You don't need to have your grief figured out.
You can simply come to God with your broken heart and whisper:
Hold me close today, Lord. Amen.
