Grace In Grief: Earthly Rested, Heavenly Eternal

Author: E. Monique Tillman

The loss of a child alters life in ways words often cannot express. Graced in Grief: Earthly Rested, Heavenly Eternal was prayerfully created to walk alongside families navigating the sacred, painful journey of child loss, offering comfort, truth, and hope rooted in God’s Word.

This 7-week devotional is designed with compassion and flexibility, recognizing that grief is not linear and healing unfolds differently for every heart. Whether used daily or weekly, families are invited to move at their own pace, allowing space for the Holy Spirit to minister deeply and personally. This devotional does not rush grief or minimize sorrow; instead, it honors the emotional, psychological, and spiritual weight of loss while anchoring each step in biblical truth.

Grounded in Scripture and guided by faith, Graced in Grief gently integrates biblical standards with an understanding of the grieving mind and heart. It acknowledges the emotional shock, confusion, and heartache that accompany loss, while offering God-centered tools for renewal, restoration, and peace. Through consistent reflection, surrender, and communion with the Father, readers are encouraged toward healing that is both tender and transformative.

Transformation takes time. In seasons of grief, God’s work is eternal, not hurried. Families are encouraged to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, engaging Scripture in ways that feel manageable and life-giving, creating a sacred rhythm of restoration that meets them where they are.
