    I have a confusing issue of my own. My husband recently started pastoring a small church. The former pastor was there for over 40 years. We have a member who is still grieving over the former pastor who died 11 years ago. She still cries in church, talks about him for long periods of time and tells everyone that she still misses him, that his spirit is still at the church. She has began conducting a memorial service each year during the anniversary of his death. It was very hard for her to accept my husband as the new pastor and has done many thing to fight against him being there. This is very vexing to many of the members and they refuse to attend the memorial service which she conducts in February and calls a "Black History Celebration". I honestly believe this type of grieving is abnormal, but I do not know how to approach the issue.

    Hi there,

    I've given you your own thread here in Personal Issues as the bereavement forum exists to provide a supportive place for those who have suffered a bereavement to post about their feelings. Hope you get some advice here.

    All the best. :cool:
