Lament: Finding Compassion in the Dust and Ashes

We all know it—the way our pain and suffering gets trapped inside and weighs us down with a heaviness that sits in our souls and compresses the joy out of our lives. There are precious few places in our society that afford us the time and space to sit quietly in our grief and just let the sadness come. For many of us, we’ve stifled our sorrows for so long that we no longer recognize them. They come instead as anger, depression, restlessness, or emotional disconnection. And while sadness often feels like a desolate and lonely place, we don’t have to sit in it alone. Compassion and beauty have a way of cracking open these hidden places in our souls where our grief is stored. Drawing from biblical practices such as lament-writing, sharing silence and bearing witness to our most difficult life experiences, we can gently coax these shy emotions out of hiding and into the loving, compassionate care of the great Beauty Himself. The scriptures speak fluently of a God whose tender compassion heals every kind of sorrow. Learning to lament becomes a love-language that connects us in profound ways to the heart and longings of Jesus Himself. As a spiritual director, I have known God’s faithful and gentle compassion and my commitment is to walk closely with you as you learn to grieve, helping you find your own unique pathway to the One who is “near to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Note: If there is no session time available here that works for you, please feel free to book through one of my other Experience calendars. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you! **********USER TESTIMONIALS********** Robyn’s knowledge of the bible and Christian spiritual tradition has been transformational for my life and ministry.
