Faith and grief

Grief is a universal human experience. The loss of a loved one often leaves deep emotional, psychological and even spiritual wounds. Grief is the way in which we process the sorrow and pain that accompanies such loss. Yet some Christians believe that those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ should never grieve.

While most commonly associated with losing someone dear to us through death, grief can also be present in a divorce, the loss of a friendship, injury or serious illness, retrenchment, or when significant life events occur such as adult children leaving home, moving away from what is safe and familiar, or a change in social status upon retirement.

People with SD have little control over their voices and therefore lose a critical means of communication.

I am trying to adhere to the principle that Christians should not be “unequally yoked”. What should I do if I realise I’ve started developing feelings for someone who isn’t a Christian? How do I draw the line between simply “hanging out” as friends and something more? Should I limit casual one-on-one dates to Christians only?
