  In this lesson, Dr. Welch says, “There is no right way to grieve.” Do you agree? Have you ever seen someone grieve in a way that you thought was “wrong”? Explain.

  Yes, I agree, but it becomes complicated if these different ways of grieving interfere with each other. One thing is certain that God is there for each one of us.

  No because I won’t condemn anyone. It’s not my place to judge anyone and their grief process.

  I agree with Dr. Welch – there is no wrong or right way to grieve. I believe grief is unique to the individual and the situation.

  As long as you’re not hurting yourself people experience grieve differently

  I agree. Each individual and their relationships are different. The impact of the loss and separations can way heavily on our emotions, social interactions, and/or our desire to move from day to day.

  Reflect on the C. S. Lewis quote: “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” In what ways do you think grief feels like fear? How does that make coping with grief/loss difficult?

  Grief feels like fear because the person or the situation we knew is no longer there, we cannot imagine the future without him/her/it. Fear blocks action and taking initiative, which makes every day living difficult. Even accomplishing small things can feel like climbing a mountain.

  I never connected the two until I heard that quote – but it makes total sense. Perhaps the fear comes from the unknown. We tend to fear what we can’t control.

  That you don’t know what’s going to happen ahead. There are many uncertainties that’s why grief is like fear

  The fear of how you may be viewed by others by moving on too quickly “in their eyes.” Coping with this fear is like a weight holding you back, when you know the wishes of your love one was to move on with life after their death.

  I have typically thought of grief as sadness, but I can understand that fear might be a component of it since you may feel some loss of control.
