JB

Thanks for the replies. I hope that the information in the brochure linked above was comforting to you.

I know that you have been through a lot of loss and pain. Sometimes it is just hard to figure everything out.

Cancer has afflicted my family as well. It is a painful process that leaves everything in ruins.

The Bible does give us this promise:

Isaiah 33:24 — And no resident will say: “I am sick.”...

I really look forward to that time.

Yes jb you would think that a cure would have happened. Honestly though I don't think that they are looking fore a CURE. There is way to much money involved.

I think that they are looking for new treatments. Better treatments, but these are NOT cures. This keeps the patient coming back longer so that the hospitals make more money.

Just my opinion.

I don't count on any human coming up with a lasting solution to these problems.

But I do have a great hope that keeps me going.

I have a strong faith which gives me a a lot of confidence in the future, which helps me endure my losses.

It is true that there is nothing we can do about the pain and agony we have in our hearts because of our losses, but so many who visit this site sound HOPELESS, and this just makes it impossible to cope.

2 things come to mind:

 

1 - I would appreciate if you would be up front about the link you posted being a Jehovah Witness site.  Not saying that's good or bad, but again, just pls be up front about it.

 

2 - I respectfully disagree with the following comments:

 

"I don't count on any huiman being coming up with a lasting solution to these problems" (about cancer etc).   

Because-?  Human beings have already come up with a lasting solution to many medical problems and diseases; logically, then, we are likely to come up with at least some for cancer, sooner or later. 

 

"There is nothing we can do about the pain and agony in our hearts..."

??  There is plenty we can do.  In fact, this site is a great example of one of the ways - by sharing, venting, supporting each other.

 

(paraphrased) "They are looking for treatments, not cures, so they can make more money..."

aka the "Big Pharmacy Conspiracy" - goodness knows our hospitals etc are very (VERY) far from perfect, but like most conspiracy theories, there is little to no evidence to back this one.  If that were true, then why did we come up with the cures we have to date (for polio, smallpox, the list goes on and on)?  In fact, if someone comes up for a cure for ANY cancer, they would make HUGE amounts of money, so if we say "all they care about is money," there's a big incentive to find a cure right there.

 

I regret if any offense was taken as none was intended; just my opinion

Bill,

I appreciate your views but hospitals, and doctors, and man in general will never solve the problems that we face. They will never stop sickness and death. If they do find a cure for one disease, another disease will surface that will ravage mankind. It is NOT a conspiracy theory...it is just simple fact!

As to the pain in ones heart having no solution...maybe it is true for you...but I know so many people who have suffered the loss of a dear loved one and after decades the person still feels that loss and has pain of heart that will not go away. To imply that time and action can heal all wounds is an inaccurate view.

And as to the link supplied needing to be disclosed as a Jehovahs Witness Link...Why does that matter? Would you insist that any one else disclose the author, or his religious views, or which religion it was connected to? If it is meaningful, and helpful, and therapeutic for people, is that not the important thing?

I do appreciate your comments, and always enjoy healthy dialogue. My responses above are not intended to debate, so please take them in the spirit given. Healthy dialogue.

Thanks Dennis, no worries.  In response to your replies:

- we weren't talking about "sickness and death" in general, but specifically cancer; that was where my comments were directed.  And my "conspiracy theory" comment was about your reference to them or hospitals/etc purposely not wanting a cure because they just want to make money.

 

- I never referred to "the pain in ones heart having no solution."  Pls re-read your original comment that I quoted:  you said "There is nothing we can do about the pain and agony in our hearts..."  Which I felt it important to point out is untrue, as someone might read that and feel even more powerless and without hope, when they have no cause to because there are many things they can do to help themselves get through this difficult journey. I also never implied that " time and action can heal all wounds," which I totally agree with you is also untrue.

 

- As to the link, why does it matter?  Because your link isn't simply a link to some general grief support; it's very religiously oriented.  Failing to say so up front is dishonest by omission, even if unintentional.  People come here for general grief support and with widely varying religious views; few if any care to be "preached to."  Would you like it if you came here looking for support and someone pointed you to a site...then when you got to it, it turned out to be an Islam site spouting things from the Koran?  Or was an atheist site touting their views?  See where I'm coming from on that?

 

Again I realize you mean well, I'm not saying the links are "bad" by any means, and I regret any offense.  Just some things to consider...

Bill,

Believe me when I say that I have no hidden agenda. No desire to omit something so as to mislead. And I believe that, by far, most of the information contained in the brochure linked to is denomination neutral. And anything otherwise can be disregarded by anyone who chooses.

My SOLE purpose was to offer something that helped me. The source really is inconsequential. IT COMFORTED AND HELPED ME.

But I do appreciate your concerns and you have definitely raised an issue that never occurred to me.

With that being said, I personally will never object to someone offering information from any source, as long as that information is designed to comfort and help the bereaved, whether I personally agree with it or not.

Thanks for the stimulating discussion, I really do appreciate it.
