1. Find a place to reflect in private

When a loved one dies we have to consider the expectation of our grief versus the reality. Our mourning may feel different than how we expected it to feel. A funeral service, or celebration of life, can look like many different things. It may be more traditional within the church or funeral home; or it could be a community picnic, a family dinner, or even a special time set-aside for a phone call. Love and support are shown in many different ways, and there is no wrong way to honor the lives of our loved ones. Through this shared time together, we allow our family and friends to help us knit together shared memories of happy times, silly times, angry times, and sad times to create an emotional comfort blanket that can warm and ease us during this time of loss.

FINE = "Feelings Inside Not Expressed." When a loved one is grieving, they might say everything is fine, but please take the extra effort to help them anyway. "Fine" is often far from it.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. –Psalm 40:1—2
