Jill McGilvray led an excellent elective on Grief at the Ministry Conference in July. She also gave a few keynote addresses, which touched everyone’s hearts.
Grief is something we all experience. I hope and pray that this resource will be of value and comfort to you: Grief workshop.
Grief is the sum of all our responses to a loss…not just our sadness.
It is:
- Individual
- Understandable…imagine if you didn’t grieve
- Unpredictable
- Overwhelming
- Not time-bound
Grief has many causes: Material, Relational, Systemic, Functional, Intrapsychic, Role
You can also find this resource on our website here.
I also commend Jill McGilvray’s book God’s Love in Action: Pastoral Care for Everyone.
