Does anybody else watch this? Its a really good show about a rabbi who is also a family counselor and he goes to different family's homes to help them overcome whatever problem they are having. Tonight as I watched I sat here with tears pouring down my face. It was a woman with young children who's husband was killed in a car accident when they went out for Valentine's Day and in the 6 years since it happened she has been unable to get over the grief. First it was in Orlando so that was enough to get the tears going for me(I don't think I'll ever get over being homesick) and secondly it made me think about how grief-stricken I would be if I lost my husband. It was a real tearjerker tonight but its a really good show. He gives great advice.

I watched it.
Twinkie, the rabbi gave her advice that friends and family had probably already told her. The difference is she needed that advice to come from someone other than the people she knew.
Grief is a strange thing some people take much longer to heal emotionally.

My husband died then my mother died 18 months later and I had two children (one of them handicapped) to raise and believe me I didn't sit around and watch videos of my deceased husband. I couldn't have done it, that would have been too depressing.

Willsfan, I'm so sorry for what you have gone through. Its good that you didn't wallow in your grief like that woman. The bloody sweater that she saved and cried over was really depressing and I'm so glad he had her bury it. I've watched each show of his since it started mostly because its shown several times a week and he does give good advice.

I tried watching this last night but I just started bawling when they went to the scene of the accident and had to turn.

Hi there... yesterday was the second episode for me. He is wonderful. Although it looked like the good rabbi and father of 7, got a teeny crush on this lady! Anyhow, this ep couldn't have been further from the other ep I saw where this woman was so agressive and yelling and putting down her husband, in front of the kids, and oh my, the rabbi really had a challenge with her. But in the end, he softened her approach and it was amazing.

Mocha, I recognized the place where the accident happened. I've passed by there a gazillion times at least. I'll take any little glimpses of home I can get.
