Grief fogs your thinking, drains your energy, and makes daily tasks feel impossible. Focusing on anything when you've experienced loss can feel like too much. But God is not far off in your pain. He's always near and present. These five practices aren't about fixing your grief. These are about staying connected to God - He who holds you through it.
Your mind may feel scattered, and that’s okay. Instead of trying to “get back to normal,” ask God to meet you in the moment you’re in. His presence is stronger than your confusion.
You don’t have to study deeply, just open your Bible and read one verse at a time. Let God’s Word sit with you like a friend who doesn’t need to fix anything. His truth still stands, even when your world doesn’t.
Grief makes you sensitive, and the world can feel too loud. The Holy Focus app helps you unplug from distractions and give your heart space to breathe and feel. Stillness isn’t silence, it’s sacred ground.
You don’t need polished prayers. God can handle your sadness, confusion, and even your anger. Speak from the heart, He already knows it.
After a personal loss, I couldn’t pray the way I used to. I couldn’t think clearly, plan ahead, or feel like myself. But God stayed. He met me in the quiet, in the tears, and in the dark. That’s why I built Holy Focus, to help others stay connected to God when everything else feels like it’s falling apart.
Grief is heavy. Let people pray for you, make meals, or just sit with you. You were never meant to go through loss alone.
It’s okay to feel fractured when you’re grieving. God isn’t asking you to be productive right now. He’s seeking your heart, just as it is. Grief can change your energy, pace, and your whole world. But it doesn’t change the love He has for you. He is present even in the ache. Sometimes, the holiest focus is letting yourself be held by Him.
