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.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. I remember when I was very young and my grandfather died. I was laughing and now realize that I didn’t know how to process my feeings.

I agree there is no right way to grieve. The right way is the way the person choses to grieve.

Yes.no.feelings aren’t wrong. Grief is personal. It’s okay to have feelings.it is not our place to judge . We need to do our best to walk in Love. If someone is in pain they need a lot of love.we all do.

Reflect on the C. S. Lewis quote: “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” In what ways do you think grief feels like fear? How does that make coping with grief/loss difficult?
-
Grief can feel like fear: like someone previously said because of the unknown and being afraid to lose others.
-
Fear of the unknown, you have suffered this loss, so now what? How do I cope, manage, move forward etc. The fear may prevent you from grieving, you may find yourself in a fast forward movement of trying to make life feel safe and familiar again.

I believe that when one is living in grief and fear they’re really living in unbelief. This causes the heart to feel hurt and empty because of the loss of a loved one. Our faith must be in Jesus’ word. He said in John 11: 25 NKJV, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. Faith is the opposite of fear. Faith in Jesus is what we need to get through the feeling of grief and loss.
-
Sometimes when you experience loss, you are not sure on how to move on, or how to relate to others, fear can come from being robbed, or violated , or unsure on sure how to continue in life without a love one.

There are times, even as a Christians, death can seem fearful. Losing a love one causes separation which bring on loneness which usher in fear. Death and fear feels like an empty whole inside your soul.
