To prevent yourself from becoming overwhelmed with sadness, inability to control your anger of loss, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, or refusing to eat and prevent isolation.
Yes, I have experienced this kind of grief in the past. my family, friends, pastor, and counselors were my support.
I still find myself currently grieving and will reach out to my Pastor, get involved in serving within my church, and spend more time reading the Bible.
Yes, I have found myself stuck in the depression stage of my grief, I now reach out to my Bible and cry out to God and questioned him about his promises. “that he will never leave me or forsake me, that he will strengthen me.
Spending more time getting involved in prayer group meetings serving in my church, and reading the Bible is helping me past that stage.
