"Is it Time to Call for Help?"

As the world becomes increasingly connected through social media, face-to-face conversations are becoming few and far between. Relying on “likes” and “favorites” won’t fill the place in your heart designed for community, especially during an intense time of grief.

Sometimes the hardest step to take is the first one — telling someone you’re struggling. In "Overwhelmed", author and Pastor Perry Noble puts it this way, “...whatever is tearing you up inside, stop hiding it. The sooner you ask for help and admit you need other people, the sooner you will find relief.”

Here are three ways to get the help you need:

● Ask a trusted friend to pray specifically for your heart to begin to heal.
● Tell the truth when someone asks how you’re coping.
● Connect with a pastor, hospice provider or professional grief counselor.

Reaching out to other people and inviting the Lord into the pain will strengthen you through a season of mourning. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
