Would you like to know how to deal with the faith questions occasioned by your grief?

1. Understand the phases and stages of grief so you can remain oriented during your journey.
2. Recognize the pitfalls and temptations that confront us at each stage of grief, especially during anger and depression.
3. Realize that our questions such as �Why?� and �Why me?� are not philosophical or theological questions but expressions of our agony and sense of abandonment. Theological explanations will not satisfy us at such times.
4. While our faith questions are natural, they often tend to be based upon false assumptions about personal entitlement, life and faith. Try asking other questions instead, such as, �Why not me?� �Why should I be exempt from the suffering others experience in this world?� or �Why has my life been so blessed in the past?� �What attitude am I going to take toward my troubles?� �What steps do I now need to take?�
5. Become aware of the moments of grace which occur all along our journeys of grief letting us know God cares for us and suffers with us, and is nudging us along toward recovery.
6. Do not isolate. Share your questions and struggles with a trusted friend or counselor.
7. Allow your grief to expand your faith understanding. Join a faith community support group or grief study. Learn from the journeys of others.
8. Rather than asking God to fix your troubles, ask God for courage, strength and guidance, and to be renewed with hope and joy.
9. Let the books listed below help you to employ these and other steps toward healing and spiritual peace.
