some Scripture

Grief is "godly," or can be, and without the Lord, leads to death. In the Lord, grief bears fruit.

A Scriptural coda to the most recent post:

"For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment!" (2 Corinthians 10-11a, italics mine).
