Loss comes in many forms. We can lose loved-ones, homes, jobs, a sense of safety – and all those things hurt deeply. Walking alongside those who have lost is complex. The swirl of emotion, the range of responses, can leave us lost for words. But moving towards a brother or sister who has lost is a deep and Christ-like act of compassion. In the resources that follow, we hope you will find wisdom to move towards them well.

Michael J. Tinker
joined us at our conference on loss to perform his show When There Are No Words – songs and readings that explore grief and hope.

If you would like to book Michael to perform the same show, you can contact him on or via his website.
There are times when we can’t find the words. Times when opening the Bible feels too hard. It is at moments this that having truth set to music can help.
We have put together playlists for those experiencing loss, and those needing to spend time in lament.
