Overcoming tragedy after an unexpected loss

In every family or community, everyone has an important role to play, no matter how young or how old they are. This explains why it is often a challenge for the survivors to figure out how they are going to put together a life that is definitely different, but equally meaningful.

Therefore, no response is more appropriate and immediate than grief. It gives us a chance to deeply immerse ourselves in prayer, acknowledge our vulnerabilities and seek help from our support systems to heal from trauma. Grief also pushes us into pause and slow modes.  There is nothing that can destroy a grieving person than focusing on how fast he or she should heal. It can only heighten anxiety, hence delay the healing process.
