Grief is a natural emotional response when something or someone we love is taken away, when we lost someone or something we used to love or like. We don't need to be ashamed of our feeling.
Many people lives in false belief about grief, most of us suppress our grief, as many people also tell us "let it go", "don't be sad", "get over it", etc. In fact nobody can tell us how to feel nor they understand our feeling, your emotions is yours.
Grief is not orderly and predictable. We might think that we've been healed from our grief, but then all of a sudden when something happens, or some memory comes out, we may feel our heart ache again. And IT'S NORMAL. Be gentle to yourself, grief takes time to heal. Some days will be better than others. Let yourself feel whatever you feel without embarassement and judgement.
It's okay to grieving but don't let your grief stop you from your activities and to receive blessing from God and others and to be blessings to others. First step to cope with our grieving is come to God, we can be honest with our feeling and thought to Him, share our burden, our pain, our sorrow, our heart-ache to God, ask Him to heal you and to comfort you. Then we might need people to listen our burden and pain.
If you want to comfort people who are grieving, I would like to suggest you to don't tell them how to feel, respect their emotions, walk with them, help them to pour out what inside their heart, encourage them and pray for them.
Remind them to come to God as He is the ONE who can heals the broken-hearted, bind every wounds and He is the true comforter.
“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Matthew 11:28-29 NLT
"He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds."
Psalm 147:3 NLT
