Ugh, Rafi. "Nobody is ever turned away" is such utter bullshit.
(I am thinking particularly of a blind friend who was very explicitly told
that she would not be welcome in a beit midrash program because of being
blind.)
and I don't pretend to have an answer for "my mother just died and it was
nasty" but I think that acknowledging that some things are not spiritual
and you are not bad for finding them so is probably a start.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
