Welcome to Hope of Heaven for Teens!

We are so glad you found this website! Hope of Heaven for Teens is an online community for teenagers who have experienced the death of a close loved one or are supporting a grieving friend. 

 

Grief is complicated, messy, and hard. Whether you are experiencing grief for the first time (Many people our age do!) or experiencing another death, you’re not alone. We want to support you through the emotionally, spiritually, and practically confusing journey.

 

As a nonprofit, online Christian ministry, we believe that God offers you wisdom, presence, and compassion throughout your journey.  It’s okay to be honestly disappointed with or even mad at God as you grieve. In those feelings, we hope you still choose to pursue a relationship with Him. 

 

This website is meant to be a community where you can find helpful thoughts, ideas, and resources from people in our age group that help you connect with God and navigate grief experiences. Enjoy your visit!

Enjoy Visitor-Made Artwork!

A sobbing girl in God's hands with Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, always present in times of trouble." around the image.
A cross in a stained glass or mosiac design with a heart in the middle to remind us that Jesus died because He loves us.
An animated fatherly image of Jesus hugging a girl saying 'I Know.' to remind us that He always understands what we are going through because He suffered and wept too.
Revelation 7:16-17: "Never again will they hunger. Never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of throne will be their shepherd." Heaven is a place where we will not suffer emptiness or fatigue because God will fill us. This verse reminds us of that promise.

Featured around this site, you will find plenty of visitor-created, faith-based artwork!

 

If you love beautiful artwork, we encourage you to visit the page displaying each piece!

In a testimony, one is truly looking back on all hills and valleys in their life. Everyone's journey looks different, but we all have high points and low points, points where God is so clearly providing for us and other points whereit takes all the faith and courage we have just to take another step. Reading about someone else's experience may help you understand yours as a journey that God will use to help you draw closer to Him.

God is with you in every moment of your grief journey. 

 

In difficult times, it could be helpful to read about where other people have seen God present in their grief journeys.

Hope of Heaven for Teens is not a counseling resource. If you or a loved one are considering suicide, please call or text the United States national teen suicide helpline, 988, or visit the live web chat version, https://988lifeline.org, immediately. Both resources allow you to talk with a person anonymously about what you are struggling with and receive caring support.

 

God created you for a purpose and your life is precious to Him. Please do not take what He has given you. Even if you feel like your life has no purpose, God has a unique purpose for you here on Earth that He’ll reveal to you day by day. He will take you Home on His timing and in His own way. Trusting His timing can be hard though.

We have a page of counseling resources (https://www.hopeofheavenforteens.com/counseling-resources) that website visitors have recommended to us. This may be helpful to you if you are struggling with grief or non-grief related depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, or any other ongoing emotional difficulty that is affecting your daily life. Hope of Heaven for Teens does not recommend any specific counseling resource.
