Bible Verses About Loss
Verses for those grieving death, endings, or things that cannot be recovered — and the God who redeems.
Loss is the wound that reminds us this world is not our home. Whether you have lost a person, a relationship, a dream, a role, or a version of yourself — the grief is real, and God does not dismiss it. These Bible verses on loss show us a God who wept at a graveside, who promises to turn mourning into dancing, who holds what death cannot take. Nothing in all creation can separate you from His love. Not even the worst kind of loss. Let these scriptures sit with you in the ache — and point you slowly toward hope.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
