Bible Verses About Grief and Loss — Themed Scripture Cluster
Scripture for mourning, comfort, and hope in the hardest seasons
10 topic hubs · 100 King James verses
The Bible does not rush grief. Job, David, Jeremiah, Naomi, and Jesus himself all weep, and none of them are corrected for it. What Scripture offers the grieving is presence — the God who is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart — and a hope that outlasts the loss.
These collections are grouped for the different shapes grief takes: bereavement, loneliness, depression, sickness, and the slow disappointment of a life that did not turn out as planned.

Questions about grief & loss
What does the Bible say about grief?
Scripture treats grief as legitimate rather than faithless. Psalm 34:18 says the LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and 1 Thessalonians 4:13 tells believers not that they should avoid sorrow, but that they should not sorrow as others which have no hope.
Which Bible verses comfort someone who has lost a loved one?
Psalm 23, Psalm 34:18, Matthew 5:4, John 14:1-3, Revelation 21:4, and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 are the passages most often read at funerals and in bereavement. All are collected in KJV on the grief and comfort hubs.
