Our response to death and loss...

Last night we watched a video called Matthew, by Rob Bell. The video centers on his reflection and on the feelings and emotions he experienced after losing a close friend. It is a rather dark video in comparison to the climate we are commonly used to from his videos. He quickly draws you into his story, experiance, and the emotions he felt at the time. It is almost impossible to not feel, to a certain level, what he went through. You will definitely identify with this video if you have experienced a similar loss.

• Why do you think people become bitter after the loss of someone?
• If you have lost someone, have you grieved completely?
• How should we respond to someone who is dealing with the loss of a friend/relative?
