Perhaps the greatest mission field of the 21st century is the field of grief and trauma. Grief is to suffer due to some type of loss. Often, that loss is caused by a very traumatic event. A person in trauma often lives with the recurrent, tormenting memories of atrocities witnessed or experienced. These memories can infect the victim’s sleep with nightmares, destroy their relationships or their capacity to work or study, torment their emotions, rattle their faith, and weaken their hope. Those who are traumatized want to flee the memory of its occurrence. Even we who are there to help, as we hear their stories, want to flee also. The great tension is the futile attempt to forget the unspeakable, though it continues to live on and scream in the mind. The world is filled with traumatized people who are struggling in and with their grief.
