What is grief ?

 

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief will be. You may associate grief with the death of a loved one—which is often the cause of the most intense type of grief

The grieving process

 

The five stages of grieving are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling.

Helping yourself heal

 

The single most important factor in healing from loss is having the support of other people. Even if you aren’t comfortable talking about your feelings under normal circumstances, it’s important to express them when you’re grieving. Sharing your loss makes the burden of grief easier to carry. Wherever the support comes from, accept it and do not grieve alone. Connecting to others will help you heal.

Accepting a loss

 

Death represents a sadness and painful parting from this life. We need not relish or hasten its coming, but we must see it as the stage for the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ in us. As He has put spiritual life in our cold, dead hearts, He shall one day put physical life into our cold, dead bodies. We can accept death because we believe that to be absent from the body is the be present with the Lord.
