In this series we are going to look at grief counselling, chaplain services, helping the grieving to experience comfort from a relationship with God and the body of Christ, as well as traditional grief counselling as well as Islamic.

This is a rather brief introductory installment.

The role of grief counselling.

The pain of losing a loved one or a close friend can be very strong or profound. Of course grief is not only associated with the passing away, that is the death of a person but with many forms of loss (including following a separation or divorce).

“The overall goal of grief counseling is to help the survivor adapt to the loss of a loved one and be able to adjust to a new reality without him or her” (Worden, 2010, p. 84).

There are “four tasks of mourning.” according to psychologists and counsellors. These help one to adapt to loss, enable one to confront what has happened and put thoughts back into order, and include (Worden, 2010):

• Accepting the reality of loss
• Processing the pain of grief
• Adjusting to a world without the deceased
• Finding an enduring connection with the deceased while embarking on a new life

Beneath these tasks grief counselling has four pronged goals to:
1. Increasing the reality of loss
2. Helping the individual deal with emotional and behavioral pain
3. Supporting them as they overcome obstacles to readjustment
4. Helping them find a way to maintain a bond while feeling comfortable reinvesting in life

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted
Matthew 5 vs 4

Comfort I'd experiencing the presence of God in the presence of suffering- a presence that empowers me to survive scars and plants the seed of hope that I will yet thrive (Dr Bob Kellerman)

When one has lost a loved one they need to have people who can plant a seed of hope. They need other Christians to walk by their side and to hear their grief story.

They must not just survive this experience but they must come out of this time of grief. The bible says in Romans 8vs 28 that "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. "

We should be there for the bereaved to help them live a life that has hope and peace.
That they are able to live for the present and for the future than barely surviving.

Yes, it is sad and painful that their beloved has died. But the bereaved need to move forward with their lives without the deceased. To achieve this they must find a right, ongoing, emotional connection with the one who has died. At the same time they need to resume life and relationships with others in a meaningful way.

The grieving must walk in truth and faith rather than by feelings. They must let go of negative mindsets. Read Roman's 22:2.

They need to be honest about their feelings but they shouldn't be driven by these feelings. They should take each step by faith. Job 1vs 20-21.

They should know that God is in every situation. Read Gen 50 vs19-20, Philippians 1:23-25, Roman's 8:17-18, Isaiah 41:10, Revelations 21:4.

Remember that the LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalms 34vs18
