Reclaiming the Faith from Orthodoxy and Islamophobia
1 JUL 2024 · We explore how people of any religion can manipulate beliefs to suit their agendas, the unfair stigmatization of Muslims due to the radical actions of a few, and the contrasting lack of stigmatization for other religions with radical elements. We also discuss how media often misinterprets and misrepresents Quranic verses, fueling misconceptions and discord. Saqib's goal with this book is to educate readers about Islam, its history, and factual information, with the hope of dispelling stereotypes. We touch upon the renowned poet Rumi, a Muslim scholar whose quotes are widely shared on social media, yet many remain unaware of his background. I read a quote from Rumi: "Listen with ears of tolerance, see through eyes of compassion, speak with the language of love," which encapsulates the essence of Saqib’s message. -

Martin's inspirational words, "If there's one thing worse than Alzheimer's, it's ignorance of the disease," resonated deeply with Betsy. -
Effective Grieving What to Say and What Not to Say
17 JUN 2024 · We discussed the role of a Grief & Trauma Coach in supporting those who are grieving, and providing them with tools to manage their situation. Claire emphasized how individuals grieve in their own ways and offered advice on what to say—and what not to say—to someone who is suffering. Additionally, we touched on concepts such as the 'Lumpy Legacy' and the idea of 'Two Truths.' Claire highlighted the need for society to better address death, dying, and grieving. She offers counseling via Zoom, making her services accessible to people everywhere. Claire's book is quick to read and filled with valuable information. Betsy found it particularly helpful even though my husband passed away four years ago. I believe "Putting Out The Fire" should be in every clergy's library, as well as in hospices and funeral homes. Betsy highly recommends this book to anyone who has lost a loved one or is facing the loss of someone dear. -
The Harsh Realities of Long Term Care Facilities
10 JUN 2024 · Susie also talked about her new documentary, "No Country For Old People," which explores the conditions in nursing homes and the treatment of the elderly.

I am honored to be part of this remarkable documentary. We delved into issues such as short staffing, high employee turnover rates, and the urgent need for the healthcare system to change its approach to treating the elderly, especially those with dementia and cognitive disabilities. Susie mentioned that 200,000 people in care facilities died during the first six months of the pandemic. She detailed how her mom developed a stage 4 bedsore and the terrible conditions and treatment her mom endured. Susie's mother had Alzheimer's for 16 years. https://passionateworldtalkradio.com/the-harsh-realities-of-long-term-care-facilities/ -
