Grief, especially grieving the loss of someone, is deep sorrow. Often overwhelming, it is a strong emotion. Loss is a tragic event that affects us all. Grief has no schedule. You may, however, progress through some common stages. Each person's grief path is their own. Grief stages don't follow a set order. Understanding these factors may help you understand some of your emotions. Whether you're planning funeral readings or grieving, you will find comfort in the Psalms.
