Grief and the Lenten season share profound similarities, inviting us to see Jesus as a companion in our desolation. We explore how Christ's 40-day retreat in the desert mirrors our grief journey—both experiences bringing us face-to-face with limitation, aloneness, and the search for meaning.

• The desolation of grief parallels Jesus' desert experience during Lent
• Jesus contemplated his limited time on earth, just as grief forces us to face mortality
• Ecclesiastes reminds us of God's constant presence
• Approaching grief as a shared journey rather than a solitary experience

As you listen, consider sending me your thoughts and questions on grief, both spiritual and practical, so we can walk this path together.
