Fresh Christian Grief Counseling Techniques

By Jeffrey Wilson


Grief is a normal part of the life of Christians. It needs to be handled with professionalism to help the parties find closure. There are excellent Christian grief counseling techniques that have been proven to be effective and deliver excellent closure whenever one loses a friend or loved one.

Acknowledging the compassionate nature of God will help Christians to overcome most of the challenges they face. There is compassion in Christ that will enable you face any challenge. This compassion can be understood better when you read the bible and other books that are written to expound on the bible.

Sharing with fellow Christians and family members helps you to cope with the loss. Christians are encouraged to live in communities where they can share joy and sorrow. The inclusion of a reflection during the sharing makes the burden lighter. There is no burden that is too difficult when you have a family to share with.

The promise of God to Christians will provide consolation. In the bible, Christians are promised eternal life where they will live with God and the departed for ever. It makes death a separation since there will be reunion in the next life. Christians also appreciate that the departed has gone to a better place.

God can be found in prayer alongside all answers that a person is looking for. Prayer provides an assurance that all will be well. It also encourages a person to be strong in the face of adversity. During prayer, you can thank God for giving you time and memories with the deceased. Prayer also provides an assurance that the strength and power of God will fill the hole that has been left.

Encourage the grieving party to engage in personal devotion. Each person has a way of encountering God that is unique from the other. Some people choose to sing. Others may read the word, take a walk, or just pray. All these devotions are personal encounters that help Christians to deal with difficult situations. This is encouraged because it helps you to strengthen your relationship with God.

A retreat is a perfect way to mourn a person who has gone and find acceptance. There is a lot of noise once a person loses his friend or relative. You might be involved in planning the sendoff or organizing life after that such that you have no moment to talk with God. Christians are encouraged to take a private retreat and reflect on the situation. You will hear what God is saying about the issue at hand.

Go on a pilgrimage to a place where you can reflect on the current situation. Leave your ordinary environment and find a place where you can listen to God. Once you leave the ordinary space, it is easier to get to terms with what you are going through. This makes any situation easier to deal with.

Spiritual mentors and leaders play a big role in dealing with grief. They have the insight to handle some of the most traumatic conditions. God also uses them to give you encouragement to handle the challenges that come your way.
