I agree teresa, this isnt a place about religion or politics. There is enough of that bs in the daily news crap! I lost my only child, and my heart bleeds every day! That is what brought me here.

I feel awful that Sharon was hurt by something I said...

I'm sorry if Sharon took it personally.. it wasn't meant to be..

Sharon I'm not sure what I missed but please don't feel as though you have to leave.

While most of our feelings and stages of grief are shared there are some things we just won't agree on. Like Mediums and preachers.  What might be comforting to one might not be comforting to another. 

Even if I don't agree with someone I don't want to see them walk away.  We are here to support each other and to hold each other up.  There is that one thing that bonds us together.

So sorry Dolly I really wasn't trying to hurt anyone with what I said, Im very fragile and can't afford to hurt others.

You won't hear from me again and I do wish you all the best

I really like Joel Osteen's messages but I am so very sad that he has missed a great opportunity to help in the community.... there is such a special need for groups that show REAL compassion to someone in grief  a safe haven that can bring friendship and encouragement without time limits.   God please raise others up in the christian community who are walking our walk to start groups that can really reach those who are hurting.

See how they feel if they ever lose a child...

Oh dear why do people do things like that. ...... I think we are allowed to have a little bit of self pity but not allow it to consume our life BUT there is a real difference between pity and grief. self pity is ugly, grief is normal and it doesn't have a use by date and it is a shame that this church grief group has missed out on the real meaning of compassion .. I really hope and pray that those is this group won't leave with a load of guilt. and if they do that God will bring others along their path who can truly show them Gods compassion.

Grief is not self pity... it's not whining.. it's not feeling sorry for yourself... and it doesn't fit a set of steps nice and neatly... and it has no set time table... so many preachers and authors and such are just totally twisting everything and are forgetting that blessed are they that mourn for they shall be COMFORTED... not bashed over the head with stupid insensitive blather like Osteen is spouting...

My daughter had to quit a church group on grief support because of a book they brought in called Heavenly Grief. It had a chapter in it called, THE SIN of Self-Pity....

I told my daughter not to attend that group anymore as long as that was the material. What is extremely odd is that the authors say they lost 3 of their children each at a very young age. I really don't understand where they are coming from, nor do I want to.
