Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handbook to enable ministry leaders to help others through bereavement Grief is a difficult topic that ministry leaders deal with on a regular basis. Do they have confidence in helping those who are suffering the loss of a loved one? Do they feel equipped to meet the differing needs that occur in the life of a survivor? Can they lead someone through a process of grief reconciliation? Are they able to plan and implement a bereavement ministry in their church or parish? Here is a book that can help leaders in a practical way to minister to those who are grieving. In addition, they will discover essential tools to deal with grief’s difficult questions. Drawing upon his thirty years of experience as a pastor and as a professional grief counselor, Dr. Michael provides a valuable resource for pastors and other grief leaders to use within their churches and organizations, and their surrounding communities. This work is a practical guide that will bring a greater understanding of the impact that loss has upon individuals and will provide competent counsel for ministering to them. In addition, it will equip the leader to implement a ministry of grief education and bereavement within a church or organization.

An active parish bereavement ministry involves many parishioners performing various forms of compassionate service. In Guide for Forming a Parish Bereavement Ministry, author Robert Valle guides parish leaders toward creating a bereavement ministry that flows from the liturgical and pastoral vision of the Church’s official funeral rites. He explains the theology and key pastoral insights of the Order of Christian Funerals (OCF) and outlines the phases of bereavement ministry, from accompanying the bereaved at the time of death to the preparation of the funeral liturgies, then home visits and acts of compassion throughout the following year. This resource provides practical advice and downloadable materials for training ministers in the theological, spiritual, and human dimensions essential for effective bereavement ministry. Contributing author Paula Kosin provides scripts and other editable downloads for facilitating a grief support group. Guide for Forming a Parish Bereavement Ministry—together with An Introduction to Bereavement Ministry: Caring for Those Who Mourn, a resource for bereavement ministers and Grieving: A Spiritual Process for Catholics, a book for the grieving—provide the training, insight, and guidance for forming a parish bereavement ministry that will bring comfort and peace to all in your community who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

This book was released on 2023-02-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countless generous-hearted people feel called to bereavement ministry and accompany the bereaved both liturgically and pastorally. In An Introduction to Bereavement Ministry: Caring for Those Who Mourn, all those called to bereavement ministry will receive the theological and spiritual formation to minister to the dying and those who grieve. This resource presents a bereavement ministry that flows from the liturgical and pastoral vision of the Church’s official funeral rites and ensures that all ministers—ordained, lay professional staff, and volunteer ministers—are working out of a shared understanding of that vision. In pastoral and engaging prose, author Corinna Laughlin unfolds the Church’s theology of Christian death, the paschal mystery, the communion of saints, and the healing power of the rites. This book addresses ministry with the dying and with the bereaved at the time of death and presents the range of pastoral services the parish and its bereavement team can offer, both in the early days and throughout the year following a death. This foundational and readable resource provides compelling and enriching formation in bereavement ministry. An Introduction to Bereavement Ministry: Caring for Those Who Mourn may be used by any person seeking formation in bereavement ministry. It may also be used in tandem with Guide for Forming a Parish Bereavement Ministry, by Robert Valle, a resource for parishes that are developing or refreshing a parish bereavement ministry. Whether An Introduction to Bereavement Ministry is used with Guide for Forming a Parish Bereavement Ministry or independently, it will give the reader a compelling and enriching formation in bereavement ministry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012 the author was invited by the Parish Pastoral Council in Newcastle, Co Down to help establish a Bereavement Ministry in the Parish. Unable to find exactly the course structure he was looking for, he designed his own course. He has divided it into five sections: • The Human Experience of Grief. (drawing on my own experiences and what some of the leading experts in grief have written) • The Liturgy of Mourning. (as used in the Catholic Church) • Grief in the Scriptures. (setting elements of section 1 within a scriptural context) • A selection of suggested Scripture readings with reflections and some sample prayers of intercession. (These are intended to be used by ordained and lay ministers for their personal reflection and in preparing funeral homilies. They may also be of solace to grieving people.) • A selection of prose, poems and prayers. This book is directed primarily to those involved in bereavement ministry.
