@eway60 it is my pleasure to meet you. I have always admired the Buddhist faith. The peace and gratitude for all things living with us on this planet make so much more sense to me and gives me hope and comfort in this crazy time. I hope with time and patience you will find a way to reconcile with your son. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

@parrot53. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply. Buddhism makes a lot of sense to me. My first experience with Buddhism was when I landed on a podcast called “Buddhism for Everyone.” I was hooked and began listening to the podcast every day on my way to work. Next I joined an online group (Sangha) offered by the teacher in the podcast. I’ve now been in the class for over a year. It is the one thing in my life that keeps me going and when I’m having a bad day my sangha listens without judgement. I’m not really a “joiner” but I’m dedicated to sticking with this class and learning more about accepting my faults and forgiveness. My goal is to learn how to be peaceful in the midst of grief and pain.
