Hey girl, I have got to say that I respectfully disagree. I lost my nephew before birth a couple of years ago and I had a really hard time with it like lots of other people do. I also had a cousin who's 2 year old died from a genetic disorder. I just couldn't understand why and how God could let children die. I think that naturally a lot of people want to blame someone or something when bad things happen.
But after watching this I see how a family uses their faith and each other to get through this. I envy that family so much. They have so much strength, especially the mother.
My friend's mother passed away a year ago and it has changed her so much. She hates the world and feels like it's not fair. She blames god. I know everyone grieves differently, but I feel bad that she's so negative and hurting so bad. I sent this link to her hoping that it can help her somehow.
As a reverend Run's life work is to show people the light. I don't think that he used his tragedy to exploit or make money. Run really wants to help people, he even emails people his words of wisdom every day. Through this show he is teaching me so much. My parents were never close to me, but Run talks to all of his children all the time. He is showing me how a family SHOULD operate. I want that kind of relationship with my family and with god. I think that if the show helps me, it can help others.
I also didn't want to bring their race into this, but they are an African American family. I am from a small town where the demographic is all pretty much the same so I have never had the opportunity to really know a family from another culture. I have so much respect for him because I can see what a great person his family is.
I think that his show is breaking through so many barriers. It was even featured on Oprah. I don't think that everything has to be behind closed doors, especially if it's something that can help others. He knows his family is strong and after this they can get past anything. I also think that since this happened 7 months ago, he is in a different stage of the grieving process. It also didn't just show the sad parts, it ended with them being able to laugh at a joke as a family and having hope and the mother was excited with the thought of adoption. This shows me that if they can get through that I can get through it too. |
