Faith, Grief, and the Questions No One Can Answer

“Do animals go to heaven?”
“Will I see them again?”
“Why did they have to suffer?”

If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions,
you’re not alone.
Faith doesn’t make loss easier—
it just gives us something to hold on to
when the ground underneath us feels shaky.

We don’t always get clear answers.
But we do get a compassionate God.
A God who created every living thing—
who saw your companion’s life as precious too.

So when the silence feels loud
and your heart aches for understanding,
know this:

You’re allowed to ask.
You’re allowed to doubt.
And you’re still held in love while you do.

🕊️ The Gentle Goodbye was written with these questions in mind.
Because grief and faith can co-exist.
And so can pain and hope.
