Mourn with Those that Mourn

The Book of Mormon teaches us to “mourn with those that mourn” (Mosiah 18:9) as Jesus Christ did. He lifted up the brokenhearted and wept with those who grieved.

Here are 5 ways to mourn with those that mourn.

1. Pray with them and for them
2. Do tasks they may not feel up to
3. Give a small, meaningful gift to them
4. Listen and be there; be a shoulder to cry on
5. Ask, "How can I help?"

I'm chronically ill and have to grieve constantly, every time there is something I can no longer do, every time part of the future I hoped for appears stolen, everytime i have to cancel a plan because my broken body doesn't work how it did. I'll tell you it gives you a lot of understanding how to mourn with those that mourn. Trials, especially life long ones, give us the opportunity to fulfill our covenants.

Part of our covenants that we make at baptism. Good reminder like always.

I love these ideas. This message couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I lost my best friend yesterday. Grateful I was able to be with her when she temporarily left this earth. I’m grateful for the plan of happiness. It brings such great comfort. I exchanged phone numbers with some of her family members so I can stay in touch with them.

I love this post but completely disagree with #5. Sometimes it’s too much to even think about how someone can help. A better option is to be observant and see how you can help and offer that particular service. Much easier for someone grieving to just be able to say yes please or no thank you rather than trying to figure out what you can do. ❤
