Grief & Grace: A Pastor’s Roadmap to Healing and Supporting Others After a Love One Transitions

I still remember the moment I first met Casey Kimbro at a juicing event. He was unassuming, quiet, and carried a book called Love Beyond Loss under his arm. Months later, after unexpectedly running into him at my local gym, I learned that Casey had walked through his own deepest darkness two years before, losing the love of his life after 37 years of marriage.

Listening to his story felt like witnessing someone rebuild a house after it collapsed. His grief was real. He described it as “soul pain” that could not be prescribed away. Yet instead of staying trapped, Casey embraced three powerful practices: gratitude for the life he shared, forgiveness of himself and others, and a radical overflow of love for every new sunrise.

I’ll never forget the image he painted of walking and crying in the days after his loss, only to hear a voice say, “You need to share this experience.” That single moment sparked a journey from raw heartbreak to purpose, one he now guides others through every week in small groups and on the pages of his book.

If you’re in the midst of loss, you won’t find a timeline for grief. There is no neat finish line. But gratitude can begin with your first breath in the morning. Forgiveness frees you from the “what ifs.” Love, as Casey reminds us, never ends, it simply asks you to keep giving it away.
