When someone dies, you might get depressed, suicidal, or start taking your grief out on others in dangerous or troublesome ways. Its possible, however, to cope with the loss of a loved one in a Christian and wholesome manner.

How does loss affect us physically and spiritually?

What are the stages of grief?
