Catholic tradition in grief counseling

Catholic tradition in grief counseling emphasizes the importance of faith, community, and the sacraments in healing from loss. It encourages individuals to express their sorrow, seek support from family and friends, and find comfort in prayer and scripture. The Church teaches that grief is a natural response to death and that mourning can be a sacred journey towards hope and renewal. Rituals, such as funerals, allow for communal mourning and honoring the deceased, while the belief in eternal life offers solace, helping individuals to cope with their loss in a meaningful way.
