Loss comes wrapped in many different ways—the loss of a parent, child or friend, a miscarriage, financial ruin, failed dreams, being betrayed, a separation and divorce, a job, having to relocate from friends and family, that dreaded phone call with bad news, a cancer diagnosis, and more. The resulting fear and sorrow usually go deep into the soul. The grief process can be intense and comes in relentless waves filled with confusion, shock, anger, loneliness, and despair. Sometimes, the pain never seems to go away.
Scripture says, “Blessed are those who mourn,” but what does that mean… what does that look like… how do you help someone when his or her whole world has been turned upside down and nothing seems to make sense anymore? How do you answer the question, “WHY?” What do you do when you don’t know what to do? What do you say when you don’t know what to say? What about complicated grief and best practices to help build stability, off er support and hope, and facilitate the road forward to a new normal?
