There are situations we will face, things we will have to do, and decisions we will have to make after the death of a loved one. But rest assured, God will comfort you and give you the strength you need if you allow Him to walk alongside you in your grief journey.
When you are feeling anxious and weak in your grief, turn to God, and He will bear your burdens.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus". Philippians 4:19

"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling". Psalm 68:5

"'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'". Jeremiah 29:11

When we lose a loved one, we lose more than just their companionship - we lose the roles they filled in our life as well. Perhaps your loved one was your encourager, confidant, mentor; or maybe they held practical roles and responsibilities, such as taking care of the lawn, handling the finances, and taking off the trash. The Empty Chair represents much more than the physical loss of our loved one, it represents all the secondary losses that have come as a result of their passing as well.

God has a message for you though: you do not have to walk through this alone!

"So do not fear, for I am with you....I will strengthen you and help you". Isaiah 41:10a

"The LORD....sustains the fatherless and the widow". Psalm 146:9a

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength".
Philippians 4:13

Join us tonight from 5:30 - 7:30 pm
at Forestbrook Baptist Church for Session 8 of GriefShare! If you've missed previous sessions, we would still love to have you come join us, as each session is independent from the others and offers helpful advice in dealing with your grief.

Grief and Your Household: Facing the Empty Chair at the Table

The trash needs to be taken out. The yard needs to be mowed. Grocery shopping and meal planning have gone by the wayside, and the family budget isn't working. The family that once ran like a well-oiled machine now feels broken and rusted.

Family dynamics change after a loved one passes away. Your role may look a lot different as you've had to take on new tasks.

In this week's session, we'll learn how to navigate through the challenges and changes your household may be facing. We'll also discover:

》 How to deal with secondary losses

》 What to do with your loved one's possessions

》 Helpful tips for parenting grieving children and teens.

We hope to see you tonight!

If we continue to think negatively about our choices made surrounding our loved one's death, we'll tend to worry, have doubts, place blame, and struggle with unreasonable guilt and shame; making our grief even more difficult to bear.

God's Word instructs us to "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise" (Philippians 4:8b)

We can apply this verse to help us stop thinking about the "If Onlys". Think of the things you did right instead; focusing on the positive (honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy) things you did for your loved one, rather than focusing on your regrets.

False guilt comes when we beat ourselves up over the "could haves" and "should haves" surrounding the circumstances of our loved one's death. Our minds blur the lines between responsibility and accident.
If we haven't done anything that defies God's will, as revealed in His Word, we can console ourselves in recognizing that we did the best we could, or that we made the best decisions possible at the time, given the circumstances; and that sometimes not all outcomes are good.

And if we realize we have done wrong in God's sight, there is still hope! God is a loving, compassionate, and forgiving God. We need only to confess our sins and wrong doings to Him and seek his forgiveness, and He will forgive us.

Need help determining if the guilt you are experiencing is true or false? Share your concerns with a few trustworthy people who are familiar with scripture (pastor, counselor, close friends or family), and ask them for their perspective. Get multiple perspectives from people rooted deep in the knowledge of the Bible, which says "there is safety in having many advisors". (Proverbs 11:14b)

Regrets: Dealing with the "If Onlys"

Have you been plagued by the "If Onlys" in grieving your loved one? If only I would have noticed he wasn't acting himself....If only they'd stayed home instead of going out that night...If only I'd known how to help them or what to do...

Feelings of regret are common after losing a loved one. However, when we don't address our regrets, they can spiral into guilt and shame; which slow the grieving process and make it more complicated. Thankfully, we don't have to be stuck in this spiral of regret and guilt.

In this week's session, we'll learn how to find freedom from those troubling thoughts. We'll also discover:

》 The importance of challenging your "if onlys"

》 Better things to focus your thoughts on

》 God's response to your regrets

We hope to see you tonight!

Perhaps bitterness, or resentment, is something you've struggled with in your grief journey. This too is normal, but also an emotion to be very careful with; just as Pastor Doug Schmidt warns: "Bitterness festers within us. It gets projected onto people who care about us" The good news is, with God's grace, we can avoid the harmful effects of bitterness.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32

"I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked....
When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply til I entered the sanctuary of God......
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
And Earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalm 73:3, 16-17a, 25-26

Sometimes in grief we are brought face-to-face with the reality that life can be unfair, and that people can be cruel and unjust. As a result, we may feel anger or outrage; which is a normal reaction, yet powerful and potentially dangerous. This is why God wants us to bring our frustrations, anxiety, and questions to Him - to cry out to Him like the Psalmists did - so He can comfort us with His love and peace as only He can.

"How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?" Psalm 13:2a

"But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me." Psalm 22:19

Facing hard decisions and new responsibilities can leave us feeling weary and full of worry. The "how will I's", "What ifs", and "if onlys" begin to pile up and you wonder how you are going to handle it all. But there's hope for facing each new day!

Matthew 6:25a-26, 34
"That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life- whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear....Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?...So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."

When fear and worry arise, we can ask God to help us develop a practice of turning to Him first. Philippians 4:6-7 is a perfect example of this!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

1 Peter 5:7
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

As we deepen our understanding of God and who He is, we will learn to trust Him more and more ❤️
