Could use some advice on helping a loved one
8/5/2010 at 1:39 PM
I could really use some advice! A family member of mine (a 14-year-old girl) just recently lost a good friend of her's in a car accident. This was about early spring. Since then she has been having a really rough time of it. She and the boy who died weren't all that close at the time because she had moved away from her home town, but she still considered him one of her good friends that she had known since she was very little.
She is in counselling right now trying to work out the issue, but we have also had a few talks. She believes in God, and has approached me about God before, but her mother hasn't raised her with any religion in her life. Recently I shared some Bible verses with her that talk about the issue of losing a loved one, and also the victory over death that can be found in Christ, and some comforting verses as well. She expressed interest in getting a Bible of her own so I am going to buy her one.
Does anyone know where to buy her a Bible? I'm not sure where to go in town to get one. A Wing and a Prayer in the mall?
Anyways, is there anything else you guys and gals can think of that I can do to help this young woman?
