Question/Request for Leah

[cats paw]

Leah,

  There was a link to an article on one of your posts- it was about spiritual abuse.  It talked about someone undergoing loss, and some well meaning ministers saying some things that were not at all helpful.

  Did you put it in the What Helps section?  If you didn't, would you be willing to?  I hope you know which one I mean, and I hope it's OK to ask.  If it's long gone or you're too busy, sometime I'll look through your posts and find it- no worries.

  Thanks- cats paw

Dear Cats Paw,

You are most welcome to ask, about anything.

I will 'bump' up the thread, and, oddly enough, have been meaning for sometime, to create a topic thread on the "What Helps"
of all that I have posted to date.  This I will do, shortly.

Spiritual Abuse, was for me, the worst kind of abuse, done unto me.   Certainly, does not bode well, for ones Emotional Health & Well Being.

Hope everything is alright with you.

When I had a personal loss, my 'spiritual abuser(s)', back then, dismissed my heartbreaking experience, and me.

Love to you,

Leah


PS  >>  I have 'bumped' the thread up for you, however, things move on so quickly, so here is the link for you ......

Leah,

  I found the link within the thread. The particular article was by Major Scott Nicloy- it was the one I was trying to remember.

  It's kind of you to do this, and to ask how I'm doing.  I'm very shut down right now, and I miss my mom.  I don't miss the hurtful
  difficult things, but I miss her and even some of the more minor annoyances she presented.

  Thank you, Leah -

You are most welcome.

Understand the thoughts you are having,
as life is not cut and dried.

Perhaps, those thoughts, together with,
her voice of gratitude, that you shared with us,
will form peaceful memories in your heart, for the future.

Thoughts of you,

Love, Leah
