I had visions of everyone praying for relief or putting your burdens on Jesus, or laying on of hands, which is very popular around here, or passing around a snake, another popular church activity here.

There's a nondenominational church about 40 minutes from here (that got attacked by a gunman a few years ago) that maybe more my style. I'll check them out.

Yeah, I figured the VA was all set up for grief support. I mean death is one of the expected outcomes of doing your job in the military. But I guess counseling is just too hard.

This is so much harder than I expected.
