INSPIRATIONAL SCRIPTURES ON DEATH

Posted in Revelations, tagged , , , , , , on June 17, 2020| Leave a Comment »

 

images[9]I copied some of these scriptures from my online friend Ferree Hardy. She came up with quite a few more from her article: Wise & Beautiful Scriptures About Our Day of Death .

My times are in your hands…Psalm 31:15

…all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

A person’s days are determined;

    you have decreed the number of his months
    and have set limits he cannot exceed. Job 14:5

 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Luke 11:25

Fathers dayAs the years goes by, and your loved one is a precious memory, it may help to celebrate his life instead of mourning his death. The following article, “HONORING A DECEASED FATHER ON FATHER’S DAY”, shares ideas for Father’s Day to those who have lost a father. These are some ways you can start a tradition or find a different way to honor him each year.

On this website, Sympathy Solutions, you can also find:

Bible Verses for Grief:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” –2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Quotes for Healing:

Challenges will continue to come. It is my choice to look for the joy or to let my spirit sink back into grief. I choose joy. – Donna Thomas, Author

Grief CareThis is a Grief Ministry Resource for churches to support individuals through their grief journeys. The Journey in Grief Care course will give the leader confidence and skill to work with those who have just lost their loved one. Designed for the leader to teach in a group setting, or for the individual to take the course at home.

http://www.griefcarefellowship.org/

Grief Training & Grief Support Curriculum For Churches & Individuals

All our materials are written for the churches to help support their ministry to those who have lost loved ones. It is written to comfort people who have lost their loved one, increase their knowledge of what God says about death and the hereafter, and eventually equip them to be an active partner in the church’s care team.

Hope Beyond Today is a six week program consisting of one hour sessions. Each session begins with a 30 minute DVD, which is followed by discussion time for the group to share their own thoughts, words of encouragement and comfort. It is the purpose of Hope Beyond Today to provide hurting people with practical ways to deal with their pain as a result of a life changing loss.

I wanted to share this resource I found through my friend, Ferree, who has a very informative website for widows:

KID’S GRIEF CAMP

Posted in Grief Resources, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Kids Camp offered through Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation

Do you know a child who is grieving due to a recent loss?   We still have openings for our Kid’s Camp sponsored by Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation!   Our camp is overseen by credentialed and licensed Clinical and Master’s level Social Worker and Psychology staff.  Our camp staff and volunteers are highly trained and specialize in grief and loss.    Kid’s Camp has designed fun, interactive activities for the children, age 6 to 12, to bond and share, play and gain tools to help them with their grief.

For some reason I couldn’t get the link to copy…so please go to the following website for more information. Sorry!

https://crhcf.org/Crossroads-Kids/

A place for grieving children to connect.

We envision a community that honors the validity of child and family grief by facilitating the healing process.

It is estimated by the Children’s Grief Association that each year 4.8 million children in the U.S. experience the death of one or both parents.

This overwhelming number does not include children who will lose a grandparent, sibling, or other significant person in their lives.

Sadly, children’s emotional needs are often overlooked as they try and navigate their world after loss. They find that their friends cannot relate and often the significant adults in their lives are consumed by their own grief. This isolation can lead to withdrawal, anger, acting out, aggression, and other issues.

Crossroads Kids is a 3-day, 2-night camp held at various locations throughout the country and is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 12.

By incorporating therapeutic activities into a fun camping experience, Crossroads Kids allows children to connect with peers who are also experiencing grief. It is a time for attendees to share their experiences in a safe place while developing coping skills to take with them when they leave.

Two sessions are run by bereavement specialists sharing best bereavement practices with the parents/significant adults of the Crossroads Kids.

By involving their families, we are able to help the parents process their own feelings in addition to their children’s. This model encourages openness and honesty, ultimately promoting an effective healing process and strengthening the family unit.

In order to achieve our vision, we maintain a 1:2 ratio of staff to campers to ensure ample supervision and support.

All therapeutic groups are overseen by credentialed, master’s level social work and psychology staff.

<!–

Beginning September 1, 2015, licensed therapists will speak to parents,
school counselors, and other health care providers for child placement in Crossroads Kids Camp.

–>

If you know a grieving child that could benefit from Crossroads Kids Camps in 2016 — or benefit from other available children’s grief programs — email us, or contact Meredith Lawler, LCSW, Director of Outreach Programs. 2016 camp dates and locations coming soon.

People Grieve Over 40 Different Losses

Posted in Grief Resources, Revelations, tagged , , , , , , , on May 23, 2016| Leave a Comment »

I used to think people only grieved when a love one died. After my first husband died, I  learned more about grief. I realized people go through grief over many reasons. Perhaps if we know we’re going through grief, such as stages of depression or anger, we’ll realize there’s logic to why we feel the way we do. This short clip may bring more understanding to grief experiences from losses we may never have thought about…..
