Sadness is a result of loss, and life is full of losses - from the small and ongoing losses to the large, one-time losses. Yet we often compartmentalize our sadness, keeping it from ourselves, and from others. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see how to be a good friend to others during times of loss, and to allow sadness to become a pathway to intimacy in our relationships. Above all, we see Jesus, the Man of Sorrows, entering into our sadness, allowing each of our losses to be way to know Him.
