Why do we feel such emotional and psychological pain when people dear to our hearts die? Why is it that some people easily lose a loved one than others? Why do some people's time of mourning easily spiral into a dark alley they were not expecting? 

Why is the death of a loved one, like a child, father, mother, or sister, can alter our view of life? The role people play in our lives determines the way and manner in which we think and perceive them when they are no longer, particularly in the place of death, especially if the death was a sudden event.   

One of the reasons for this study is to know how to understand our time of grief and help others cope with their time of grief so that we can move on at the appropriate time that we are ready to move on. We don't want to allow the enemy to hijack our season of hurt or grieve for his own advantage. Mourning in the hope we have in Christ, allows the believer the rear insight that all hope is not loss when we lose a loved one or the loss of things.

Understanding death and the pain of losing relatives is a challenge for most people. And even in this case, those who seem to have somehow learned to manage the emotion of grieve still face the difficulty of moving on with their lives for various reasons that might be more complex to comprehend.

The way people express or handle their grieves is unique because they are different. Grief is something we don't like to face or talk about. In fact, we deny the reality of grief, and we also deny ourselves the opportunity to express our hurt, especially as men, and that is because most men have been raised and taught to see and deal with their manhood. 

There are questions and emotions that people generally struggle with that we may not get an immediate answer to. When we understand this challenging issue from a biblical perspective, we should arrive at a more sensible and stable restored place where we can live our lives according to heaven's intended plan. The Lord can help us make sense of mourning in a way that gives us hope and confidence to live our lives according to its divine objective.
