-Allow grief to change you. When you experience a loss you will not be the same afterwards. It can grow you and change you for the good-the idea that God can use painful things for His glory even if you dont see it right away. You know you can tell a difference between someone who has experienced loss and someone who has not. This is very evident in visitation lines at a funeral or with someone trying to give you words of comfort. When my mom passed someone said to me Well, at least you had her for as long as you did, this was not helpful to me, I wanted her for longer. But, I had experienced loss at a young age and it changed me and I looked at loss differently and would never say that to someone. -You may ask God why as you grief the loss but realize He may not tell you. Often faith is not knowing the answer to this question. Dont allow the waiting for an answer to get you stuck in grief. -Dont run from God but run to Him. You may be angry with Him or you may want to run from Him and hide from your feelings. Dont do it! If you are angry, let Him know and allow the anger to be released. If you are afraid of your feelings and pain, you can trust God with them, only he can bring the healing that you need so that you can accept the loss and move on with life. -If you are battling regret and guilt; write it down, say it out loud, say you are sorry and then allow God to take them off your heart and mind so that you can move on and then move on. -It is the same if you are dealing with anger; anger at God, anger at a person even if they have died; tell God so He can help you deal and heal from the anger.
