[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Buzzfeed article:

The massive amounts of goodwill she inspired are framed throughout the memoir as simply the results of positive thinking, prayer, and humility. “When I look back now on the help I received, I can only see God behind all of it,” she writes early in the book. “Every day I prayed for a miracle, and every day miracles appeared … I have always believed that people are innately good, and that we should ask for help when we need it and accept help when it’s offered. … I saw each act of kindness as an act of God.”

That’s what’s truly gross about the whole thing. My mom was the most God-fearing person I have met in my life but she died alone in a hospital with COVID. The priest came and gave her last rites standing in the other side of a door. I said goodbye to her over the phone. So I have to wonder why God have miracles to Amanda but not my family. Does God love Instagram influencers more than the rest of us? My goodness, she was able to see her husband in the COVID ward every damn day! In the early days of the pandemic! And somehow people pulled strings to get her family through closed borders! But she sees this all as “the power of prayer”, not the power of massive privilege.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom.  Amanda has no clue as to how tone deaf her book is and how much it stings for those who could not say goodbye to love ones.[/quote]
