In this lesson, Dr. Welch says, “There is no right way to grieve.” Do you agree? Have you ever seen someone grieve in a way that you thought was “wrong”? Explain.

My friend Henry. He lost his wife. went to grief share. He volunteered all the time. His son had diabetes. We was able to talk about this subject cause my sister and brother both have diabetes. His son had it bad. Kidneys failing, loss of limbs just like my brother and sister. So, we pretty much listened to each other. Was there for each other at church and messaging. Well, his son passed away and I wondered why I hadn’t heard from him. My friend asked me. You were close to Henry. I said I haven’t heard or seen him. She told me he committed suicide. I wish I could have been there for him.

I believe everyone grieves differently, each with a different level of love. My grandparents passed away, and I experienced grief, but deeper grief than that of my cousins. I feel that my grief was deeper because of the love that I shared, the memories that I held, and the close relationship that was built. When my mother passed, I was distraught, experienced chaos and confusion, and I was overcome with anger. Some people withdraw, requiring solitude, others mourn in pain. Yes, there is a difference in grieving.

I have not seen any “out of the ordinary” ways someone would go through or would express grief. However, I have seen people experience grief over a significant period of time (years), and did not appear to ever be able to move past it.

Everybody grieves in a different way. I remember rea in 2 Sam. 12: 16ff. Where David’s child was sick and David fasted all night for the child and he, David, laid all night on the ground and prayed for the child and when the child died David got up and anointed himself and carried on.

I totally agree. People grieve in many ways, it’s a journey. I can’t say it was wrong the way someone grieved. I’ve been there, and personally, I didn’t know how to grieve I just wanted the pain to stop.
