📖 Christ Inc — Breaking Sorrows: A God-Centered Guide to Walking Through Grief, Loss, and Shame

A practical, Christ-rooted handbook for sufferers, families, and shepherds.

The Truth. The Only Way Home. LIFE.

What This Booklet Is

Breaking Sorrows is a compassionate, Scripture-anchored field guide for seasons of grief, loss, and shame. It clarifies what you’re feeling, why it hits the body, mind, story, and spirit, how the enemy exploits pain, and how to walk a clear, multi-pronged path—lament, repentance (when needed), honor, community, and resilient hope in Christ.

Who It’s For

Sufferers facing death, betrayal, illness, infertility, divorce, lost dreams, or reputational wounds
Families & friends who want to care wisely without rushing or shaming
Pastors & ministry teams offering biblical, trauma-wise support

What You’ll Learn

Clear definitions of grief, loss, and shame—and no condemnation in Christ.
Root causes: nervous-system impact, spiraling thoughts, family/culture scripts, spiritual warfare.
Enemy tactics: lies, accusation, isolation—Christ’s counter: renounce • repent • receive • replace.
Why “get over it” plans fail: shaming timelines, silenced lament, isolation, spiritual bypass, counterfeit comforts.
God’s way through pain: lament, repentance, and honor—honest prayer, turning from sin where relevant, and remembering with gratitude.
A multi-pronged plan:
- 90-Day / 1-Year map with milestones
- Daily Rule of Life (morning lament + thanksgiving, midday mercy, evening examen)
- Five Circles of Support (Jesus, pastoral covering, Christian counselor, accountability trio, church/family)
- Skills for waves & warfare (name → ground → breathe → declare truth → close doors → after-action review)
Hope that endures: discovering meaning, vocation, and mission as “wounded healers.”
