Leslie - My husband died of cancer and we didn’t end on a good note. I wonder if he loved me. I need some closure. (19:26)
Heidi - I am in a difficult marriage but what helps is to offer up the things that he does to me and then maybe he will suffer less later. (29:50)
Mark - Can you clarify the question about children and offering up suffering. (35:02)
Joseph - You gave a great answer when somebody was going through suffering and you suggested that she 'be saintly' and suffer well. (37:00)
