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.

Understand the promise of God about death and meeting your loved ones in heaven. This will take away the veil of sorrow and help you focus on your journey to heaven. The promise of God is that all the sorrow suffered on earth will come to an end in heaven. With this in mind, it will be easier to let go for now knowing that you will be together in heaven. In fact, you gain consolation in the knowledge that the departed is at a good place with the father in heaven.

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 Christian to make personal devotion. This involves singing, praises, worship, reading the bible or serving God in whichever way one feels closest to him. These are personal encounters that will help him or her communicate with God and find the answers he or she is looking for. It strengthens the relationship beyond this point. It is also a way of getting to a personal point that no counselor can get.

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.

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.
