*Grief: What Do I Do With It?*
* *
*Grief* is a very powerful emotion that God gave us.
But *What Do I Do With It?*
My recollections of grief: watching Grandma Beatty grieve, funeral for little boy, friend whose husband died & person told her God had someone else, attending funeral of young person who took own life.
Class of Death & Dying—What is grief and what should we do with it?
then it hit home 7 years ago when my own father died!

-root word means weak, sick, wounded
-caused by death, disappointment, or deficit-/loss/—Bible wide range
-*grief is REAL*—God gave us our emotions—Biblical
-*grief is DIFFERENT*—everyone deals differently
-not God’s plan to deny or dismiss grief
-*grief is SOBERING*—makes us realize mortality & loss
