enna Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Great discussion. I was in college studying theology before I started to change my image of God as a protector and loving Father. It took me years to realize that God does not let bad things happen. It is rather a part of life. It is up to me to accept that when something bad happens it is not God’s fault. I was first introduced to Terri Daniels when my dog Benji died. I kept asking why and even gave God a piece of my mind for taking him away so soon after I adopted him after my beloved Jim died. For a while, I thought it was God punishing me until I remember that God does not allow bad things to happen. Thanks for finding this video, Marty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I guess because people view God as all powerful, they feel He can stop something from happening but since He didn't, they blame Him. They don't realize even He acts within certain guidelines and boundaries that were set in motion too many years ago to count. He will BE in charge someday, but according to most Christian theology, that isn't the case right now. It's complicated. Anyway, I view it as you do, Anne, we're in a world where things are temporary, our bodies for one thing. Rather than playing the blame game, I see Him as going through everything WITH me. Hard to remember when you're newly grieving and out of your mind with it, but even that state is temporary. We get a little more clarity of mind back in time.

"Now why did he have to mention that!" I presume it is to attract attention to the video. I know there is a purpose to everything in life. It draws me closer to God and His work of sanctification. - Shalom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayc Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I worked for a Prosthetic and Orthotic facility for six years, one of my favorite jobs...I've seen bilateral amputees, but to see someone with no arms or legs, that has to be really hard. One thought I had was, the dog seems not to notice. And he still found a way to pet/rub the dog. When you love a person, you love who they are, the package is of lesser consequence, it is the spirit of the person you love. I cry when I think of all of the amputees I have known...they don't let life stop them! They are on Search and Rescue, they climb mountains, they are avid skiers, they work construction, they dance. They are inspiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyT Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 -----Original Message----- From: Fenton, Lindsey Whissel Sent: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 11:56 Subject: Public Television Documentary on Grief – July 15 Online Screening Event Hello Marty, I’m a producer for PBS affiliate station WPSU. I recently produced the documentary Speaking Grief. This film explores the transformative experience of losing a family member in a grief-avoidant society. It validates grief as a normal, healthy part of the human experience rather than a problem that needs to be “fixed.” It also addresses the role that support from friends and family plays in a person’s grief experience, offering guidance on how to show up for people in their darkest moments. I think it might be of interest to your members. If you agree that this would resonate with your members, we would love to have you make them aware of an online screening event that’s happening next Wednesday, July 15 at 8:00 p.m. (ET). We’ll be screening the documentary in full (it’s currently only available via public television broadcast) and via Facebook Live (@wpsugrief) following the screening with a live Q&A with grief experts, the VP of the New York Life Foundation, and one of the people featured in the film. Here's a link to the event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2442027929166979/ Thank you, Lindsey Whissel Fenton Senior Producer, WPSU Penn State Phone: 814-863-1769 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayc Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Very beautifully done! She shares in a way that I feel...this is a journey none of us wished to be on, but it's rich with, as she called it, self knowing, learning about ourselves, getting to know about ourselves in a rich way. One of those things you wouldn't trade for anything...except to have them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
