My experience with grief has taught me that walking through that shadow is hard, but during the walk through the shadow, as the psalmist wrote: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me," Psalm 23: 4, we are promised his presence.
When I'm affected with circumstances beyond my control, I go to the God of everything. The maker of the universe--and the storms of uncertainty.
If you haven't experienced grief, one day you will. You don't have to dread the day or somehow "prepare" yourself for loss, instead, build up your relationship with God.
Do we need comfort when we are lighthearted and all is well? No. Comfort--one of God's greatest gifts--comes during the depths of sorrow and loss.
The first time I read that passage, I was in a tough place in my first marriage.
Like a princess, she sat there, delighted to see me and Jim.

Last week, I told the story about my baby who was stillborn. I didn't tell the whole story and there's a portion I believe is very important.
I was never the same after that loss and although I feel sad when I remember, there is great hope and strength.
