A lot of people who struggle with grief are often unaware of where to go for help. A relationship with God is always helpful. Christian friends or Christian counseling are also beneficial. For those looking to take more time to go through the subject for themselves or others, I put together a list of resources I recommend on grief. Some of these are books by others, some are articles I have written in the past. Resources #1-4 can be found here. (link)
