Comfort that takes away grief

Live audio chat with Thomas Mitchinson, C.S.B.

Grief over the passing of a loved family member is just one of the aspects that Tim responds to in this love-filled chat. He speaks of his own experiences with his father's passing and the realization that even though his human father was gone, God would always be with him. The knowledge that he could trust his Father-Mother God to care for him produced a shift in thought that still inspires and guides him today. He notes that anyone may be confronted by sad experiences that seem overwhelming. But God's love is able to completely overpower fear, doubt, and grief. Divine Love speaks to all people, no matter what situation they may be facing.

Drawing on experiences from his own life, Tim also offers ideas on how to pray about grief over separation brought on by estrangement, over lost business or other opportunities, and the passing of loved pets. In response to site-visitors' questions, Tim shares thoughts about instances where family or friends seem determined to grieve, despite one's efforts to comfort them.
