There was a post on the forum about a week ago. I forgot who wrote it. But, it was from someone who had lost a parent a year ago and was having trouble coping since then. She stated she wasn't religious at all. If she doesn't have faith in God though she will never fully heal. She can go to...

I've read hundreds of threads here in the past few weeks.
