At moments, I have to admit that my faith was rocked and I was angry at G-d for having let me experience such pain. But then I realized that I get angry at only someone I care about. When I didn't get the support I needed from my first few Jewish contacts, I tried some others; I knew that I still had faith that someone would take my outreached hand and lead me to the sources of Jewish healing that would re-nourish my soul. Please help me add to this list.]
