Allowing Are Children To Suffer
#1
If we really want our children to develope, we have to allow them to suffer. My mother was not very good at this. She worried about me and my siblings until the day she died at age ninety. If you would of asked her why she worried about us so much she would of said it is because she loved us. Of course she loved us. I think all parents love their children unconditionally consciously or unconsciously. However from a spiritual point of view all worrying does is create anxiety and fear which is of course the opposite of love. I say let your kids make the mistakes they are destined to make and trust in God they will become who they really are. Protect them when they are young but as they grow older celebrate both their mistakes and their successes. Love them by seeing yourself in them. Just be one with them in the present moment and salvation is both there for the both of you along with compassion, forgiveness, joy and inner peace! Don't worry, be happy as the song goes.

I agree with garth, My son did suffer (so did I) when his mom dies It was a tough time then for both of us You never get over the event but in time most of the "pain" of his mom's death subsided.

As the Buddha said "Life is suffering. Enlightenment ends all suffering". Or in Christian terms the cross symbolizes both suffering and eternal life. The grieving will come and go in waves. Underlying and transcending this will be the realization of inner peace and joy. Death is sacred. It can be your greatest spiritual teacher! God Bless you and your son.
