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.

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.

Take a retreat or a few minutes of silence to listen to what God is saying about your current situation. It is common for people to tell you a lot once you have lost a friend or family. However, there is something that God says yet many people do not listen. Retreat into your private space and allow God to speak.

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.

Talk to spiritual mentors and leaders. They have dealt with similar issues in the past and are better placed to provide guidance. The leaders and mentors are also the voice of God when things are thick. They will provide a shoulder to cry on.
