Who's Going To Cry At Your Funeral?
Written by Steve Pilkington   
Sunday, 11 June 2006 07:14

As you reflect on your life, what are the things you are most proud of? As I thought about this question myself, I would have to say that the years my wife and I spent raising our two children. Raising two good human beings who are now wonderful adults making their way in the world is the one accomplishment I'm most proud of. Both of our children are honest, hardworking and they care.

Oh, we talk about the best cold medications and if cherry cough syrup tastes better to kids than orange. We can recommend preschools and sneakers. But the hardest part of parenting is the least often discussed. The roughest aspect of being a parent is losing a child.

Why Aren’t My Prayers Being Answered?
Written by Marnie L. Pehrson   
Saturday, 03 June 2006 22:16

Recently I’ve had several people write to say that although they do their best to have faith in the Lord and to follow His teachings, they do not receive answers to their prayers. It is as if they are praying to the ceiling, for it seems they are neither heard nor answered.

Where The Soul Lives
Written by Marti Talbott   
Saturday, 03 June 2006 22:13

Thirty-six years ago, when I was carrying my first child, Doctors didn’t know as much as they do today about Eclampsia, a potentially deadly condition during pregnancy. By the time my doctor discovered it, I was in my ninth month and gaining a pound a day. If he was alarmed it wasn’t apparent and when he casually suggested we induce labor, I was thrilled. Little did I know labor would take four long days and include convulsions and a coma.

Whatever Happened to Purgatory?
Written by Father Tony Stanganelli   
Saturday, 03 June 2006 22:09

One morning, I went to the funeral home near my parish in order to offer my condolences to the next of kin prior to the celebration of the Mass of Christian burial. Upon receiving my expressions of sympathy, the brother of the deceased said to me, “Father, I have a question. Where do we go from here?” Assuming that he meant the question literally, I answered, “Well, in a few moments, the funeral director will organize us in paying our final respects to your brother. We will then leave from here, form the line of cars behind the hearse and drive in procession to the Church where we will celebrate the funeral Mass.”

What You Say…(What I Hear)
Written by Connie Small   
Saturday, 03 June 2006 22:07

For the last eight days, I have read comments to my article “Stop telling me how wrong I am!” I have read the emails sent to me in response to that article. I have listened to what people have told me when they see me in the store or talk to me on the phone. I have cried because of the heartless and cruel things that have been said to me. It doesn’t seem to matter what I want. It doesn’t seem to matter how much pain I’m in and how much more those comments have added to it. Every day, every single one of the last eight days, I have cried because of something said to me about my grief.
