Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief don’t include the effect on one’s faith or spirituality, not specifically. Presumably therapists who do grief counseling have their own ways of discussing this aspect if it comes up. My husband and I had never had lengthy discussions about our own personal faith. We’d both been raised as Catholics; thus, we shared a common vocabulary. I knew that he believed in God, that he had sometimes prayed. We’d been to church together and even on a retreat together at a monastery. We’d talked about saints and the history of the Church. But in our reactions to what happened to Theo, we diverged. My husband’s response of anger was directed at the God he said he no longer believed in.
Theo’s homily! I can’t wait!
Also curious about the homily!
Really enjoyed this and curious about the homily
Looking forward to reading your next blog. ❤
