How Do I Help the Dying & Grieving?

Once we know how to face the death of others, we are better equipped to help others. In 1 Thessalonians 4:18, Paul calls us to “encourage one another with these words”—words of gospel truth. In this lesson, Dr. Waters teaches us how to take up our calling as Christians for those who are dying or near to someone who is dying. Five principles will enable us to better minister to those in need of comfort.
