I knew Pres Ballard when he was Mission President plus also met his wife. She had to be special because he sold Ford Edsel's (LOL).
Well she passed and he is upset. My wife passed 7 years ago from ALS. I believe that President Ballard who is a Prophet, Seer and Revelator is having no answers!!! He is suppose to be closer to God than me. But he is having trouble adjusting to death of a loved one and getting answers.
I grew up in the church, I was active in the Church. I had a testimony of the gospel. BUT I found no comfort in the gospel, or in the church when my wife passed. It surprised me. After about 3 years I started to go to a community bereavement group. I then started to get a better understanding of why I was having difficulty. I had done so much temple work for the dead that I was desensitized to death. Then death became real. I often wonder what is happening to my wife. I have no answers. I believe this what Elder Ballard is experiencing. No answers and he probably thought he had them. As a result he probably can not express that concern as people know he talks with God!!!!
Bottom line. Reality is experiencing its ugly head and Russ is finding out the gospel does not have answers.
