it's been awhile since i've been on here.

due to death in the family, chicken pox in children and other nasty things.. i posted here awhile ago about things i had found the unsettled me.

i was due to have a visit from two elders and a lot of you gave me lots of help and encouragement.. well, the two elders visited and i have to admit that it was nothing like i expected.. they sat down, and told me straight away that there was nothing i could say or ask that would hurt me.

i just got this thought that we're like a huge soap opera to god and other spiritual beings.

if the almighty makes it all perfect and joyful, then how the heck will he/they get entertained?!.

in other words, the almighty powers that be aren't interested in the least bit in making things happy and perfect for all because we're like a huge spectacle for them to watch for ever and ever.. alright, there goes my sanity for today.. dy

What "CAUSES" a molested child to hurt? (Warning: Possible Triggers)
by gumby in

2. child-abuse
when a child is molested, they suffer in many ways through their years as we all know.

my question is......what tells them it is not right?

how do they know that they have been abused?

Did you ever save anyones life?
by dh in

2. friends
if so, was it a stranger or was it someone you knew, and how did the relationship develop afterward?

i did once, a friend who was drowning, after the incident the friendship totally deteriorated and now whenever i think about it, i wonder why i bothered, it's difficult watching someone drown, especially when they shout your name instead of help.

anyway, anyone got any experiences to share?.

i'd appreciate any links or book recommendations to help with grief.

i've searched the net, but thought that you would all have some good input.

basically i'm trying to help someone very close to me who is shattered with grief (the death happened only 2 days ago).. please tell me about your own experiences in helping someone in this situation.
