MITCHELL recalls the day his dad died: "I was in a state of shock....'It can't be true,' I kept telling myself."
Perhaps someone you love-a parent, a brother, a sister, or a friend-has died. And rather than feel only sorrow, you also feel anger, confusion, and fear. Try as you may, you can't hold back the tears. Or you keep the pain you feel bottled up inside.
Really, it is only natural to react emotionally when someone you love dies. Even Jesus Christ, when he learned of death of a close friend, "gave way to tears" and "groaned" inside. Realizing that others have felt as you do may help you better to deal with your loss.
