Their grief is often private...they believe very strongly in the will of God. I actually met a woman who had just lost her brother in a lawn mower accident. As I was trying to reach out with sorrow to her about the incident. She said this to me: :It was his time. It is God's will. He is where he belongs." That was several years ago and has since resonated with me. I'm sure they feel loss as we do. It is just not expressed outwardly. I wouldn't go as far to say they have no emotion. After all, God gave us our emotions for a reason.
Very good video. I have found myself very interested in Amish and Mennonite was of life.
I always thought they were the "same"...there are a lot of differences for sure. Glad you enjoyed!
Very interesting. Lovely music at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it
How do they express grief? Or do they not show emotion?

Why no horses or wagons allowed in the English cemetery? That seems odd. Why would it matter?
The wheels are hard on the asphalt.
