Grade 8: Stress and Grief, Page 17.

The word "not" was omitted from the second sentence of the last paragraph.

A person’s faith life can have a profound effect on the grieving process. One of the common areas for strong clarification is the fact that God does not inflict loss and suffering. When we reflect on the life of Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine in one person, we see that he consistently reached out in healing to those that suffered and grieved. The Son of God transforms suffering into grace. People who claim that “It is God’s Will” can cause a great deal of confusion since nobody knows the will of God. When we reflect on the terrible death of Jesus, we see how God transformed suffering and death into the gift of eternal life.
