How do I help my loved one when they are sad?
Differences in sadness and sorrow definition
relationship to distress and emotion regulation
Elevated, heavy feelings – sadness, guilt, remorse/regret, powerlessness
- Time oriented, long suffering, pain taking time
- Death, change, trauma, heartbreak, injustice, loss, disappointment, bad luck, trouble
Consider the moments when someone becomes aware of something challenging
No fixing
acknowledgement goes a long way
let these emotions be a process
let people’s emotions, including our own be complicated and layered
let it be seen by God with someone
invite that person into regular life things
2 Corinthians 1:3-4, God of all comforts, God of all, but especially of comfort
Psalm 18:6-8, God’s anger at what makes us sad or hurt
