When adult children reject the Christian faith, the primary biblical response for parents is to move from controlling the outcome to trusting God with the soul. This involves grieving the loss, continuing to model authentic, joyful faith (1 Peter 3:1-2), maintaining unconditional love and relationship, and committing to persistent, humble prayer (1 John 5:14). The focus shifts from correction to being a faithful, available witness to the transforming power of the Gospel.

Healing from a broken relationship for a Christian is a process anchored in grief, surrender, and radical forgiveness. Healing is not about forgetting the pain, but about inviting Christ into the pain to receive His comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) and committing to forgive the other person (and yourself), recognizing that true peace is found only in the restoration of your relationship with God, who is the ultimate source of love and security.

The Bible does not offer a single comprehensive teaching on suicide, but it affirms the sanctity of life as a gift from God (Genesis 9:6) and condemns the taking of any human life, including one’s own. While the act is a tragic sin, the Bible’s core message is one of mercy. A Christian who dies by suicide does not lose their salvation, as salvation is based solely on the finished work of Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), not on the manner of one's death.

Christians should approach miscarriage and infant loss with profound grief, yet anchored by the biblical assurance of God's sovereignty, the sanctity of life (Psalm 139:13-16), and the hope of the resurrection. We find comfort in believing that these precious children are safe in the presence of Christ, and we lament with hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13) while trusting in the Father's perfect love.

Christians respond to grief and sudden loss not by pretending to be fine, but by grieving with genuine sorrow, yet not as those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). The Christian response is anchored in the assurance of resurrection, the comfort of the Holy Spirit (John 14:26), and the example of Jesus, who wept (John 11:35).
