Managing Bereavement

Bereavement is an experience that may sound normal to people who have not lost their dear ones. This calls for commitment from any Pastoral-care giver who labors to help the bereaved to come to terms with the loss. It even may call for one's presence alone.Pastoral care-givers have the task of ensuring that the bereaved is comforted.As Christians,we believe that the departed has gone to meet Jesus who promised to come and take us to where he is in a world that is pain-free. After the pain and suffering,the billows of sorrow are left behind and the deceased is now free and resting.This book is primarily concerned with how the ones left behind can be comforted, made to accept death and go on living.
