10 Things You Need to Know about Grieving People | Your Daily Prayer

The Bible encourages us to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. It’s a lot easier to celebrate a happy event like a wedding or graduation than it is to receive sad news, but we’re still expected to behave in a way that honors the circumstance. But, let’s be honest— it can be hard to know exactly what to say or do for a friend or loved one who is grieving.
