God,
The holidays used to be my favorite. Now they remind me of who isn't here. Hold me when the music plays and the table is set. Let me still find You in this season.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses for comfort in grief
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
