Grief and Mourning

Read Jeremiah 16-18

Jeremiah 16:5 "For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies."

When someone has lost a loved one, they can usually find a support group to go to. Even people who have been diagnosed with a terminal disease have support groups for comfort.

But we are writers and will be looking for markets where we can reach lots of people with the comfort, support, and information the groups offer. People grieve for all kinds of reasons and most markets would be able to use a specially slanted article.

In fiction, our characters might be going through grief and mourning and we will show how they deal with the emotions and altered circumstances. We might even have characters that should be mourning but aren’t and the story will show why and how they deal with their societies’ expectations.
