Faith Reflections discussion questions
by Sarah Stumme

1. What passages or stories in Scripture speak to you and help you respond to loss and grief?

2. What is a faithful response to grief or to someone grieving?

3. Advent is approaching. One of its rituals is to light a candle each week. The candles are lit to symbolize the hope of God’s presence even during the darkest nights. Sometimes all we can do during times of grief is to keep vigil and to sit through the night until the light shines. Keeping vigil helps us make space for the pain and silence. What are ways that you make space for the pain and loss in your own life or in the lives of the people around you?

4. The Bible is full of passages of hope and promise. What passages do you cling to? How do you let them hold you?
