In reply to Mariam. Gosh, your words are so refreshing to read!! You preach it girl! We are ALL called to comfort others, especially in this hard area that no one wants to talk about. Our communities need your mentality of loving others through this kind of pain and not shying away. Thanks for raising your arm and declaring your belief in this matter too! You are loved.

I am soooooo greatful that someone in the Coptic community openly spoke about this topic and it was so beautifully written! In our community we don’t talk about breakups openly but it’s soooo important that we do. After a breakup a person experiences the same exact feelings as though a person had died; the grief is the same and it is so strong. During this time community, the Body of Christ, is so essential. It’s in our most vulnerable state that the Enemy wants to push us further and further away from God. But with the comfort and support and encouragement of other believers as a shield the Enemy will not steal us away. A breakup directly effects your physical, mental and emotional health and it’s so important to keep them healthy in order to heal healthy (I have a lot to say about this but for the sake of the forum I’ll keep it short lol)! So to those of us who know someone mourning a breakup- ask about the person, pray for them, and comfort them. As believers we are called to to mourn with those who mourn; we are called to comfort.
