Should a person go to griefshare, if even though i believe in many of the Christian doctrines and considered my self a Christian most of my life, the thing that has helped me most is Rabbi Harold Kushners belief in a God that is not all powerful in our physical realm. In other words God don't want bad things to happen but is powerless to stop them.
Just had my first grief share online meeting and it is almost beat-you-over-the-head with their brand of Christianity. So many statements saying what is appropriate for a person to feel according to their literal interpretation of Scripture. "Feelings of suicide after grief are never normal" is one example I disagree with. I don't think anyone should tell another what is normal or appropriate when grieving, or how to believe about death or suicide. How I see it, God gave us each other to do God's work on Earth. God's will is for us all to be happy and healthy, but God cannot interfere with individual free will, otherwise God would be Satan.
@@AlyssaSummey Thanks for your reply. I'm not a therapist and won't pretend to be. I think a person should in some instances get therapy over grief share so they can work one on one and get help to deal with painful emotions. One thing I know for sure is isolating one self when going through something painful as losing a loved one isn't a good idea. I have read before that most people that has failed at suicide later said they were glad to be alive. Scott peck the fellow that wrote the book The Road Less Traveled, said a person should go to a therapist when they are stuck and not moving forward. On God not intervening, I just think if God didn't interven in the holocaust, when would he intervene unless possibly it was the end of everything, even then I'm not sure.
Is the guided discussion available on RUclips?
