I heard the same show...I didn't take his point as "berating " at all.
I believe that being sad at losing a child is natural, but there is a healthy degree of sadness, and a degree that is clinical and calls for help.
In my belief system, you do have to give a soul permission to travel its journey, even if it's on the other side. Clinging too hard to the past retards their progress.
I do think we can hold them back in their progression, if we are unable to do the emotional work of accepting the way things are., instead of the way they were or the way we want them to be. That is the active verb in my life, since May 30, 2012...accept.
That was how I took his advice on thsi subject. You can disagree. We each have our beliefs and points of view.
