The Afterlife: God can handle the questions including providing whatever physical presence is needed

One of RantWoman's favorite stories about RantMom and Quakers:


Before RantMom moved permanently to Seattle, she came for visits and sometimes when to worship with RantWoman. During one such visit, someone RantWoman definitely considers a weighty Friend rose and gave a long message full of despair and concern. 


RantWoman did not rush up after and ask some version of "Friend, how are you doing?" RantWoman does not know whether, hopefully, someone else reached out. RantWoman and RantMom headed out to the bus to connect with Little Sister. On the bus, RantMom said at her church, someone would definitely have reached out to someone who expressed that much despair, perhaps with some Bible citations. RantMom asked what would be the norm about a message like that among Quakers.


RantWoman demurred: the Friend who gave the message has a master's degree in theology and sometimes taught Bible study. Plus, RantWoman said "Well, a lot of Quakers think God can handle the questions."


RantMom said "I am so glad you found the Quakers."
