An interfaith perspective on anger at God, doubt, and faith after a death

by Rev. Rabbi Henry-Cameron Allen, OCP, ICGC

Our Inspiration

I work with many Griefwalkers who struggle with this question. I struggled with it myself in my early grief as a single father. My son Cameron crossed eighteen years ago when he was thirteen. About a year before, he said to me, "I heard someone say that your cracks are where the light gets in, but I don't think that's true, Papa. I think our cracks are where our inner light gets out." He was twelve. It has become the foundation stone for my interfaith counseling and leadership.
