I too thank you for this answer of hope and counsel. All five of my children and their spouses have left the church and I too have had to find new ways of staying connected with my children. How I long to share treasured traditions of faith with them. Instead I find myself searching for ways to connect on their terms. And striving to be joyful despite the sadness I am always feeling. I loved your reminding us that the Savior was a “man acquainted with grief”. It helps me have courage to build my own foundation and live life with Joy and leave the rest of it all up to God. My kids will see my joy and that is the best gift I can give to them. Thank you for your wise words.

Thank you so very, very much for your sound, and understanding counsel. So many of us today are facing the heartbreak of children leaving the faith despite our best efforts as parents in raising them in the Gospel. Your advice has given me comfort and some peace, which has been so very difficult to come by.
