I agree! Deep in my heart, this talk of "healing" is offensive, wrong.
I see.. then BACK TO BUSINESS... as usual brain washing American children as socialists.. and leftist ideologues..
I love his radio show. It is the most articulate and rational program on the air. His Friday Happiness hour is terrific.
Dennis hits the nail on the head. I couldn't agree more.
I enjoy listening to Dennis because more than other talk show host he thinks about many of the same things I think about and frequently comes to the same conclusions.
Dennis Prager is brilliant, no doubt. He has an excellent radio program that often addresses topics from deep philosophical and moral viewpoints.
His guiding principle, as he explains on the show, is that he seeks “clarity” on a topic more than he seeks agreement.
It is VERY important, what you did. I cut off all my hair when my mother died; I had to, not by custom, but divine instinct. The emotion of grief is powerful and must be honored. I wore black.
I was fortunate to have honest, wise friends. When I told one my mother had died, she said to me, “I pray you will be able to grieve.” And another friend said to me, “You will never get over it.” This is true.
Life goes on, but the grief along with the bond becomes part of you and it is a blessing.
..we can’t skip through the hard part..like turning the channel. Prager has spoken a mouthful here..I completely agree. ..and thanks for your personal thoughts, good post.
“Sounds like the school dont want to deal with truth”
Yeah, that’s kind of become a problem with most schools.
I’m not Jewish, but in the row home neighborhood that I grew up in, the women saw to it that the family didn’t have to attend to the daily chores. Meals, laundry, house cleaning, grass cutting, etc were assigned and accomplished. While not exactly shiva, it allowed the family to concentrate on their loss. We don’t have that anymore and I think it’s a shame.
That is so true. I appreciated any attempt by others to make a gesture or just to be company, as you say. God guides and provides.
Well stated. Thank you. There is alot of wisdom in your post and Dennis’.
My Father passed away last year, and it is just now that the emotions are bubbling up, which I feel is a direct result of my well-meaning family’s unintentional suppression of my reaction to the event.
Dennis is correct.
These clowns that profess to be leaders are nothing but referees wearing a PC patch on their sleeve.
I agree with this, and not only in an event such as this. It is unfortunate that in modern times, when we feel bad, the response is to try to deny or fight the feelings. Pain and suffering exists for a reason, and not just to be run from.
Great, as if the people in one building weren’t enough of a target, this dick is going to put all the students in a stadium the day following the massacre! The man is an idiot (not had to believe considering it’s a university).
Sometimes these things happen in bunches; good procedure would to break for a while. It seems more and more this moron is about putting it apast him so he can forget about it, let alone not having to disrupt the university's schedule.
I can’t believe stupid people are put in positions of authority but I see it everywhere, particularly in Universities and government. We need to stop supporting institutions that have a policy of failure!
Great article, and great post from you. Dennis is the best!
Let the healing begin. We’ll bring in as many grief counsellors as necessary, and if we aren’t getting the results we need, we’ll offer them overtime and a bonus for early completion.
We may have to subcontract to outside firms to get the proven expertise we need, and if we are going to bid this competitively, we need to move quickly. In the interest of time we may have to consider no-bid contracts, but we want to make sure we are good stewards with the public money.
We are considering some grief specialist firms in Bangalore, who are prepared to offer economical grief reduction over broadband. We just make sure our target demographic has access to the appropriate links, and we can service this need quickly and efficiently. I attach a sample e-brochure in pdf for your review.
Seriously, I didn’t know anyone who was killed on 911, but if I’m forced to focus on that day my eyes still well up with tears.
I’m not planning to get over it. Not ever.
If you suffer a real loss, it is my belief that you don’t get over it. You learn to live around your loss, but you don’t get over it. You shouldn’t expect to.
