In 2023, while the world was trying to find its footing again, I was mourning the loss of my mother and father-in-law to COVID. Despite keeping busy a persistent emptiness lingered in my heart. Then, one morning, the silence was broken by a whisper from the Lord: “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.” That invitation from the Song of Songs became the foundation of this study. Arise, Come with Me is the fruit of that journey, a map for anyone who has felt the sting of sorrow, the weight of grief, or the strange, hollow ache of feeling disconnected.
