My dear friend and mentor in traumatic bereavement, Dr. Joanne Cacciatore brought to all of our attention that Pastor Joel Osteen has a chapter in his book wherein he is quoted as saying that bereaved parents who lost their only child were still grieving out of "self pity" and because they "like attention".
Needless to say, his belief that we bereaved parents are wallowing in our self pity doesn't sit well with many of us. Joanne contacted Joel Osteen and asked him to apologize to all of us, offering to help counsel him in the bereavement that one experiences after the loss of a child (or children). The door was shut in her face, clearly, so she wrote him an open letter. I love her. Please read, and if compelled, share her letter
