[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you have no understanding of what being Blessed means.

Can you explain it to me?  As a parent whose child died after a long and painful illness, when someone tells me they are “blessed” with healthy children, I feel like they think God decides to give their kids the privilege of good health and decided differently for my kid.

As the wife of an Afghanistan veteran who is currently worrying about interpreter friends he left behind who are in fear of their lives, when people say they are blessed to be Americans do they mean God chose those different paths?

I am asking this as a Christian who hates the phrase.[/quote]

DP.  I am sorry for your loss.  I have had two children die (as well as my husband) and it is hell.  However, I was still blessed by their presences in my life even though their lives ended tragically.

You're lashing out and I think you would be better off taking a step back from social media and even news media for a while until you regain your footing.  If you have done grief therapy or any type of therapy before but stopped then you should consider going back in to it.
