Dealing with Grief and Bereavement

You never saw it coming.

And now you feel blindsided, angry as hell, confused, and want answers.

Losing a beloved family member or a friend unexpectedly may be one of the most painful experiences. You feel intense pain that is so unbearable. Life does not feel normal since your loss.

You knew that the day was coming. Your family member or close friend was struggling with their illness for some time. Now they are gone. A rush of emotions comes over you that are difficult to bear.

You feel overwhelmed with sadness after losing a job that you gave your life to for years… “I don’t feel appreciated and valued.”

The divorce you experienced recently has caused you to mourn and experience grief… “I didn’t realize it would be this tough to handle.” You feel regret and guilt.

You feel stuck in grief and cannot escape feelings of sadness, emptiness, fear, or inability to move forward with your life.

Your life changed in an instant.

People in our lives mean well, but…

“I know how you feel.”
“God needed him more than you do.”
“It’s a blessing in disguise.”
“There are many people worse off than you.”
“You should be over this by now.”
“You’ve got to get a hold of yourself.”

These attempts do not help you with your grief and bereavement. Instead, you actually feel like slapping those who share these words of “encouragement.”
