About The Mourning Soul
The greatest pain in the world is losing someone you love. We know that pain here at The Mourning Soul. We are a community of Christians who are discovering the faithfulness of Christ through death, suffering, and grief. Over 2.5 million people die a year in the United States. There are not merely numbers in a report—they represent mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, sons and daughters. Losing them creates wounds that never feel like they will heal.
Mourning comes in all shapes and forms; we all grieve in diverse ways. The Mourning Soul is here to help mourners, friends and family of mourners, and church leaders who need resources to help people along the journey of grief.
We await the dawning of a new morning. A day when Christ gives the final blow to death—never feeling its effects again. But until that day our mourning souls must find our rest and hope in Christ—the only place to find true peace.
About the Founder
Hey, my name is Jeremy Griswold. I founded The Mourning Soul in 2015 in honor of my father who passed away when I was 17 years old. Sadly, my wife and I have suffered much loss in our lives and we share much of our story as we can with you on this site. We have lost both of our dads, a sister, a boss, mentors and friends.
Yet we have found the God consistently draws us to himself in the midst of our pain and suffering. 2 Corinthians 1:3, says the "God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." The Mourning Soul is a way for us to help other Christians discover the faithfulness of Christ in suffering.
