God Bless you many don't experience love at all.

Indeed, I suffered at the hands of my husband, so much that remarrying terrified me.

So sorry that is sad.

This movie hits home for me as lost many but I believe you must going on living with memories of each one then move forward because your time it's up here on this earth 🌎 with God help you can learn how how live again as I have . Thank you for loving me .

Thanks for sharing. Every heart knows its own sorrow. Now comes a prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to encourage the disheartened and help the weak to carry on this journey with SWEET JESUS AT THE WHEEL because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark when aiming to solve a problem then creating another resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive justification by grace even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their doors until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

Bless your heart!🙌

God Bless you. How sweet and selfless of you.

None of us are worthy to be in heaven friend, even our best works on earth is worthless, look unto the Lamb of God alone, trust in Him alone, in His finished work on the cross, not your own performance, He is worthy to be praised and thanked now and forevermore, for He makes us sinners to be in Christ blameless, spotless and without rebuke in His sight! Eph 2

The Lord God placed me with my momma (my grand momma) my grandparents raised me. God fearing people started my journey with The Lord Jesus. I was so sad holding my momma hand when she died. Jesus helped me understand I would see her again. I look forward mostly to seeing my First Love Jesus The Lord when Abba God calls me Home. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

Amen!

It brings it all back into focus. Your loss is still so new and raw, and there is a road yet to travel. I guess that is what helped me most, is to know that I am not alone. Bad things, tragedies happen not just to other people, but to us too. And we can lean on them when we need to - and that is okay. And we can take tentative steps forward, then a couple back, laugh and cry and allow ourselves to grieve. One day as it said in the movie, the pain will not be so unbearable, you will not be there yet. But one day.

I experienced grief after 51 Years of marriage he was my Life Partner Soulmate. It can take months for your inner Strength to recover, and you do it in your own time. Nine Years on I have met gorgeous guy wonderful to be with. 8 thank God for out Paths have crossed. Now I treasure everyday. Take time you will get better as the Days move on only in your time.

Helping another helped me through the worst part. Im still lonely at age 76 but being by myself as also been therapeutic. Ive done therapy. Ive done widows and widowers group. Just going to the library helped. You will find whats next guaranteed! God bless you. ❤

God bless yall Friendship

Nothing lost, Or forgotten, Just put on pause, for a while! Use the best they were, by example, To help mould you to Christ likeness. Grow in Grace, faith, hope, and love! Ouer pain in loss, Ouer grief, should only lead us to love deeper, harder, stronger, because we have experienced love. That can never be lost, the pain will become bareable, but never forgotten, so that we don't forget that love costs everything! And it's worth the price! Shalom. Faith, Hope, and Love!

Qwaqwa

Sorry for your loss. Blessings to you during this season of life! Be Blessed!

AMEN🙏🤝😘

You said:'his first wife' but spoke of him as dying still thinking of her yet I assumed there must have been a 2nd wife. Did he not ever get over his first wife.

No he never got over the deep love he had for his first wife Ellie, who died in Apr.1924. Although to have someone to take care of the child he now had, he married Elma in Dec. 1925. Elma's fiance had died in WWI. My mother was born in 1926. Hans and Elma lived a long life together, 1892-1981; both however carried a deeper bond for their first true love. Hans Grohs was an artist. I published a book that illustrates the art Hans created as a grief process as he mourned Ellie. Hans Friedrich Grohs, A Memento Mori for Elisabeth Grohs Treskow. Contact me if you're interested. The birch trees are in it.

oh my goodness... my heart.

@@rosiemckinney1061 you have an amazing history. Im interested

Ah..so sad you have been stuck with grief. God wants us to find Him through these times & He wants us to find our identity in His Son who died for us. If we don't know Jesus & what He did on the cross for us..that He died for the sin of the world..yours & mine too! We are all born with a sin nature & the punishment is death eternal..BUT..Jesus paid the price by becoming death for us. He carried all our sin upon Himself that we could have life eternal. He died, He was buried & He rose again. Do you believe He did that for you..can you put your faith in Him to save you now? Can you say thank You Jesus for carrying my sin & shedding Your blood for me. Can you say..I'm sorry for my sin(& that includes even idolizing my fiance over You) ..please forgive me & help me live for You. And if you can then the Bible says WE ARE FORGIVEN & set free. Now..you can know Him & live to tell others about Him. This is the only hope we have.. its in Christ. Now read the Bible to get to know Him..start in John. I hope God reveals His love to you.

May God bring comfort, and joy in the little things in life...even a beautiful flower, and knowing that we, your sisters in grief, care.

your comment could have been written from my own experience, even though I didn't write it. I wonder how many others watch this movie and have " been there "too.

Yes Beautiful loving ❤️ inspirational moving movie....the friendship between all the people is extra extraordinary. Very enjoyable...😃

How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

How do you set them free?

They are demons you cast them back to the abyss in the name of Jesus

Just as Christ asked Mary not to "touch" Him after He had arisen. A more truthful translation is to "cling" and try to prevent Him from returning to His heavenly kingdom. Remember as well He understood grief. His statement was not condemnation nor was He a "demon to be cast back to hell as in a previous comment. The Lord is with us in love as we grieve, counsels us, comforts us and when we truly understand the beauty and the glory of where are loved ones are, that the walk with the Lord, eat with Him, have true Peace in Him, it is more us than them that is set free. They were set free the moment they breathed their last breath here and stood before His Presence in Heaven.

Don’t be sad your loved one is gone. Be happy he/she was here.

@@user-mu2bs8ye6g wow.. well said

May I ask how long after your first husband did you marry again? My daughter has lost her husband..her first & only love.

Thanks for the terrific review, lerato. Glad you found the film worthwhile.

I couldn't agree more with your words, ... "trusting God for healing" ... as illustrated by the following prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to communicate that GOD KNOWS the heart and how to HEAL IT INSIDE AND OUT USING HIS SON JESUS CHRIST via the wonder of faith. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark when aiming to solve a problem then creating another resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin.

YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive justification by grace even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their doors until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

Omg! We were married for 40 years and two years ago I lost my darling husband! I could never, ever be married again or love someone. It would be like changing our children for another set. We're all different and you can't assume everyone could be like you. I still love my husband as much as I did 42 years ago. Miss him so much my souls hurts. When I felt that pain for the first time,I knew I have a soul as it wasn't my flesh which hurt. I can't wait to join my husband. 🥀

Is it really true that we can find true love again??

'Preciate your leaving these helpful remarks, Lisa.

God is good all the time all the time God is good. One of the hardest thing is going through the losing a spouse, i have been there before. Let’s be friends Lisa, can we?

Wow Laura, thank you for your thoughtful commentary on "Birches."

Eternal life lol😊

Thanks Wendy. Glad this movie moved you closer to God.

Thanks for watching Levi... and for your testimony of faith.

So True

Lovely message Levi dear yes we are eternal family who will sing together infront of the Lamb. Please pray for obediance of the for the Church to sow the Word for the world

..I have to disagree to a couple of things you said sorry. Firstly: we don't have to strive for life eternal.. we only have to believe & have faith in Jesus atoning work of the cross for our sin..the wages of sin is death eternal but Jesus died that death for us..He paid the price so we could live forever. It is not Biblical to say that we will always be a sinner! That's saying Jesus death, burial & resurrection was for nothing. I was a sinner but now am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I am a joint heir with Christ. I am a part of the Body of Christ on earth. I am a child of God & have many brethren. Look how Paul addressed the church..to the saints at Corinth, Ephesus etc. And they weren't perfect yet..look at Corinthians! We have to know who we are in Christ & walk in faith not fear, which is unbelief! Remember the Israelites who didn't get into the promised land because of unbelief. Jesus is going to be appearing in the clouds soon for His Bride.. the church who is getting herself ready..to be without spot or blemish so we are being refined daily. Your story of not being able to watch this movie because of fear made me think:'my gosh..whats happened to make her so fearful'? I learned a long time ago that fear is the enemies playground & it ties God's hands on our behalf when we are fearing. Fear is expecting that thing. Look at Job:'all that he feared came upon him'. I've witnessed first hand what constant worry about something or someone..can do. And.. it's the blood of Jesus that saves us..not baptism. No works..its by grace & grace alone..through faith!

Hy Desi Love your testimony and your passion for the body of Christ. I will love to get to know you.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, Eleanor.

Heart wrenching... as in, it wrenches (not drenched, lol) our heart out... 🤣

Okay, you can stop right after you watch "Russ Taff: I Still Believe." :-)

So pleased that you enjoyed the film. Thank you for the blessing.

It is possible that God was protecting you. Singless is better than abuse. Good marriages seem to be very rare. Christians are part of the bride of Christ! Basilea Schlink calls Jesus our bridegroom. Are you trusting Him as your Savior?

Thanks Deborah. "Birches" really stirs up a lot of important questions, doesn't it? And it actually offers up answers to some of 'em too.

You're welcome Diane-thanks for the positive review.

Thanks Ian. Glad you liked it.

Sorry Louise. Ever since "Chariots of Fire" back in 1981, feature films have turned up the score much louder. It used to be called an "underscore," but not any morel

Thanks for the endorsement, Doc.

Thank you for the heads up and the honest review... am 40 mins into it, waiting for the Christian part.. should've been obvious by the moment he started seeing visions or they talked about ghosts or the 4 bottles of wine; the drinking party and the heavy darkness throughout each scene...so tiring of people calling Christian, non Christian movies but worldly, secular and even demonic.

There’s nothing unChristian about the movie. It had realness inside the questioning of faith that comes inside deep tragic loss…and the devil can put his 2cents worth in anything anyway..so what if they drank some wine…and met in a house with a story…and all the other stuff…the scenario was real and not religious and pretentious like Pharisitical and judgemental Christians operate . It had a great principle to help deal with grief and I think the filmmakers accomplished their goal. I actually live in a similar house but that doesn’t make me any less Christian because of the history or the fact that my family just lost a family member and the Christian spouse had almost those similarities…who are we to judge? God looks at the heart…and intent… huge difference between being religious and truly KNOWING the Jesus of the scriptures. …the 6 friends were being honest and real with each other at their get together.

@@yam153 I don’t think Isobel’s review was honest at all. It came across as judgemental.. it’s just how the Pharisees would have reviewed seeing Jesus sitting with sinners….it was like a real life story inside of the grief of tragic loss and 6 friends questioning their faith…so what if the venue was an old house? …Christians do live in old homes with past histories….furthermore Jesus turned the water into wine at a wedding…obviously God didn’t have a problem with that miracle….LOL Jesus sitting around with a bunch of people drinking…🤣 so very very sad that people don’t know the Real God of the Scriptures……they only know religious traditions of men… I can see why some movie channels turn off the comments….to avoid spoiler alerts and prejudiced reviews.

@@MsEller316 Instead of drinking alcohol during my grieving process, I jump into worshipping The One who gave His Life for me and overcome the world. I used to be a drunker heading straight to hell, The Lord free me from that and now His Word is my Rock my defense, my sword against Satan trying to tempt me to deal with pain with alcohol and other sinful devices. As a believer, grief is dealt with peace, knowing if the loved one passed away, then is in Heaven with The Lord awaiting for the day of Resurrection to receive a glorified body and reunite with the loved ones. If the loved one did not repent and died without Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, then grieving will be even more painful knowing they are in hell; still as True Followers of Christ, we trust God is Just and His Justice is Perfect. His people, His Church, His children, love Him with all our hearts, our minds, our spirits, our bodies and our souls. We love Him above all and everyone; spouses, children, relatives and friends. Nobody on this earth, not my mother, not my dad, not my husband, nobody is above Him.

@@yam153 I understand and appreciate your position re your testimony but not everyone may need to abstain from a glass of wine at times. "If your conscience doesn't condemn you.." I didn't get the impression that they were drowning their sorrows and getting drunk in revelry. ..they were old friends getting together...as many of us still do when we meet...it may not be expedient to some to do so however so we have to consider others. ..but it doesn't make one not be a Christian to do so. You have an awesome testimony....but not everyone is in the same spiritual location when faced with grief even with all the knowledge we have. That's why the script was so real. I also have a testimony but it wasn't about alcohol. I can't make my testimony the standard of how to behave. Touch not taste not etc. Let the Holy Spirit lead and guide according to the Word of God. Truth is Sufficient. Blessings and keep the Faith. On Christ the solid rock we stand...all other ground is sinking sand.❤👍🏼

Thank you, Beverly.

Thank you!

Thanks Michael. Glad this film moved you.

Thank you Laura.
