They That Sow in Tears

"I know now what goes on behind the locked doors of a psychiatric ward and I must give voice to it." A young widow and mother on the wake of her husband's death experiences something intensely spiritual. However, others do not understand, and she is taken to a psychiatric hospital on the eve of his funeral. Here she is forced to receive twenty shock treatments and take medication with adverse side effects. Her spiritual experiences continue in the hospital. In this toxic environment, the reality of Psalm 91 is a refuge and major support. "A deeper level of reality exists beyond anything we can articulate." Roberto Assagioli, M.D.
