How to help grieving people



One day you will likely bury someone you loved. When that happens you will experience unbearable pain that like the waves of a ocean refused to calm down. You will noticed that as you experience the pain of your loss others will be living life like you had lived before your loss. Families continue to go to Disney World and having fun together. It will have the feel that you are on another planet from your happy friends.

We were not meant to travel the lonely road of grief by ourselves.  Burying ourselves in alcohol and drugs is not the appropriate way of coping with grief. My wife and I have been involved in this support group a couple of times and we recommend this group to everyone who has experience a loss. Whether it is the loss of a parent or child grief share is the right group to allow you to begin processing the grief you are experiencing. I like Zig Zigler's comment when he said that when we experience loss it is not the time to be strong, but it is a time to be human.

Grief share will help you to  calm the stormy seas of loss.
The above video is an example of the need for people who are grieving to be involved in a grief share group. The pain is often unbearable to do it by yourself.
