Showing results for "The Falls" in Death & Grief

Life can change in an instant. “He died at the scene.” “It’s malignant.” “I want a divorce.” Certain words, whether whispered or shouted, once uttered, severs us from the life we once knew. Such words can send us into a spiritual free fall, descending into a world we never wanted to enter. Often times, words meant to comfort can feel empty. Hope seems out of our reach when loss, grief, and depression tries to smother our faith. Freefall reminds us the God we serve gave us the tools to survive our darkest hours.
