Grieving after a loss is normal when done at the right time and in the right space of time, but if grief is not handled properly, it can work death. For instance, after a loss, many find themselves talking to their dead or praying to their dead, but the Bible strictly forbids this behavior. In addition, many look to attend group grief classes to help deal with their pain, but once again, the Bible reveals why this is counterproductive. Dealing with Grief Biblically addresses these subjects and also provides practical steps that will help you get through the common issues that surface after a loss.
In order to heal properly, it is important to know what the Bible teaches and how the Lord wants us to respond. With His help, you will not have to numbly face the days ahead. Jesus is willing to heal you starting this very day if you are willing to do it His way.
“...for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow...” Jeremiah 31:13b
