I know that you will meet with a lot of tribulation in the world and that it will embitter your lives. For that reason I give to you of my heavenly treasure this priceless pearl. Your burden will grow lighter then. Abraham mourned and wept. Mourning is a ceremony that involves rending the clothes, beating the breasts and sprinkling ashes upon the head.
Weeping is a personal response of a person undergoing grief, loss, and disbelief.
Many Christians find it hard to deal with grief, know what to say or have a negative view of grief. Let the one who has suffered the loss take the lead. If he feels like talking, encourage him to talk. If he prefers to sit in silence, don't intrude on his silence. Friends should call, bring food, offer to run errands, and do what needs to be done.
