Abstract
Abstract Grief is a complex emotion that can no longer be ignored. Unwisely managed grief experiences may contribute to a multitude of physical and emotional disorders and to a loss of faith and meaning of existence. The concomitants of normal and abnormal grief are discussed. Differentiations are made between bereavement, grief, and mourning. Five means are suggested to help the individual face the grief emotion and work through it in a healthful manner: (1) funeral rites and ceremonies, (2) wise pastoral care, (3) the redemptive community at work, i.e., the church, (4) the printed page, and (5) the understanding of the essence of the Christian message.
