AB - This article examines the resources derived from the general approach and Christian approach to grief and loss caused by death. In the general approach, clinical studies analysed the mourner's grieving process and suggested the tasks of mourning for restoration within the context of Western social cultural trend typified by the death-denying. According to the Christian approach, Christian counselors emphasized the distinctive faith resources such as hope and the means of grace, the practical tools such as the liturgy, the Scriptures, and prayer, and the necessity to perceive the reality of loss and express emotions. Furthermore, this article concretizes three aspects in some insightful contents of the preceding research data, which can be available to apply for Christian care practices. Based on this understanding, the caregiver would help survivors to grieve appropriately their loss and take them through the grief work. First, emphasizing the necessity to perceive the several faces of grieving reactions and the importance of emotional expression. The appropriate understanding of the dynamics of grief can be the good first step to help the person who had experienced the loss. Second, suggesting the significance of releasing what's happened and accept the reality as it is. Third, grasping not only the meaning of the hardships through the grieving process, but also the Lord who is an object of great reverence and give the grieving person the real meaning of loss.
