You Are Not Alone

Everyone struggles with loneliness at some point. Whether you are going through something hard that you don't think anyone else understands or you are facing a change in life where you just feel alone, God's Word provides hope and strength. There is someone who is closer than a brother and is always with You - Jesus Christ is our friend and comforter!

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

What is grief ?

Grief is a natural human response to the loss of a loved one. It can show itself in many ways. Grief moves in and out of stages from disbelief and denial, to anger and guilt, to finding a source of comfort, to eventually adjusting to the loss.

It is normal for both the dying person and the survivors to experience grief. For survivors, the grieving process can take many years. The challenge of accepting death and dying as the end stage of life is what the grieving process is all about.

The grieving process

Grief is normal, and it is a process. Expressing grief is how a person reacts to the loss of a loved one.

Many people think of grief as a single instance or as a short time of pain or sadness in response to a loss – like the tears shed at a loved one’s funeral. But grieving includes the entire emotional process of coping with a loss, and it can last a long time. The process involves many different emotions, actions, and expressions, all of which help a person come to terms with the loss of a loved one.

We may hear the time of grief being described as "normal grieving," but this simply refers to a process anyone may go through, and none of us experiences grief the same way. This is because grief doesn’t look or feel the same for everyone. And every loss is different. 

Helping yourself heal

 Healing begins when you share your grief. Ignoring your pain will not make it go away. Often, you will feel better when you talk to someone. Dr. Wolfelt says, "Allow yourself to speak from your heart, not just your head. Doing so doesn't mean you are losing control, or going 'crazy.' It is a normal part of your grief journey."

Spend time with friends and relatives who care about you and your feelings. Find people who will listen to you without judging. Avoid people who are critical of how you are handling yourself and your mourning process. Stay away from those who try to steal your grief from you. You may hear people say things like "Keep your chin up," "Carry on," or "Be happy." These people do not realize how hurtful these trite comments are. They may be uncomfortable with the fact that you are suffering. They want you to be back to normal as quickly as possible
