What about a parent who was a very evil hypocrite? Dead from a heart attack many years ago. He terrorized me, my mother and brother, was selfish to the max, and when I had to return to Seattle to take care of some death details, I was given a box with his cremated ashes and promptly tossed them in the garbage. Good riddance to a blob of human debris.

CeeJ, as sad as your experience has been, this is not what the Crusader Gal is writing about here. She's writing about those of us who experience grief at the loss of a loved one.
I pray that if you have not already done so, that you allow the Holy Spirit to empower you to forgive your late father. Continuing hatred is like a cancer.
But you were able to throw away the ashes. What about those who abuse us and then shine in the spotlight all day long so we canтАЩt avoid seeing them. Posters of Pohl Pot or Stalin for example?
God wants us to restore ourselves and come to forgiveness. Yes, even with Adolf Hitler and former Cardinal McCarrick. Perhaps just deflecting the feelings that arise from a trivial bit of humor like, тАЬ$5 dollars and a coke.тАЭ
But maybe accepting the Hollywood trash that promotes evil films that elevate ratboys into great narrative prophets of modernism.
Healing doesnтАЩt start until you can both forgive and come to some understanding of what it would be like to live in the shoes of those you hate and blame, walk a mile in them, you might not have been able to do better if it was your place in life. If you canтАЩt even consider that then pray for God to know your invincible ignorance is not sinful neglect.
Because God who sent His only begotten to die for our sins demands forgiveness. His Mercy requires it and it is only in accepting His Mercy that we may find forgiveness.
The scandal and evil goes on. Do what is possible to change it. But start first in your heart and open your mind to greater perspectives where forgiveness is possible. DonтАЩt self help yourself into a false psyche that rejects the truth of God. Know God, know healing and know forgiveness.
