Loss and pain
Abandonment
Feeling that someone important left us or was not there when we needed them.
What the Bible can tell you
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Psalms 27:10
The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don't be afraid. Don't be discouraged."
Deuteronomy 31:8
Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5
A human reading
Abandonment leaves a wound of not feeling enough or not being cared for. That feeling can remain even when the situation has changed. Recognizing the pain is the first step to not carrying it in silence.
