Emphasis Preaching Journal

I recently listened to a hospital chaplain speak about grief. He indicated how difficult it is for some persons to deal with the loss of a loved one. The problem is so complex because so many emotional factors enter into the relationship we have had with the one who has recently departed. There may be guilt because of a strained relationship between the two persons. There can be anger, toward the deceased and God. There is usually a feeling of inadequacy and also of depression.
