The Latest Christian Grief Counseling Techniques

By Jeffrey Wilson


Christians will be weak from time to time and require therapy. This therapy should also be based on pillars of Christianity to avoid conflict in principle that can make the situation worse. There are Christian grief counseling techniques that counselors should embrace in order to obtain the best results.

The grieving Christians should be introduced to the compassionate element of God. It helps them to deal with the loss and surrounding challenges. The compassion of Christ can be read from his works and message in the bible. Other authors have also written books that expound on this compassion to make the idea easier to understand.

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.

Seek God in prayer at the time when you feel low in spirit. Prayer has a way of enhancing your faith and giving you the reassurance that you can be strong. Take a moment to thank God for the life and moments of the departed. Through prayer, you get hope that God will fill the gap that has been left by the departed soul.

The grieving person should take to personal devotion as a way of finding solutions to the loss. There is a unique way in which every person encounters God. Some take to singing while others dance, read the bible, take walks or pray in a personal manner. These devotions create a personal moment with God that will enable you deal with the current situation better. It is also a way of strengthening your personal relationship with God.

A grieving person should be encouraged to go for a retreat. The aim is to find a quiet place where prayer can be deepened and communication with God made more effective. The presence of friends and relatives can be a huge distraction. You are also required to make plans for sending off the departed. You have no time to talk to God and even raise issues that could be bothering you at the moment.

A pilgrimage is a perfect way to deal with traumatizing situations. It takes you to a place away from your current situation and helps you to have a spiritual reflection. You also have more personal time with God where you can converse and address your grief. By the time you return, it will be easier to deal with the situation.

Encourage the grieving person to talk to spiritual leaders and mentors. They have a better understanding of issues and will provide the guidance you need. God also speaks to people through those He has anointed.
