After General Conference in April 2012, my Mom called me excited about all of the things she had learned from watching and listening to our church leaders. Getting to church was always difficult for her but she would watch BYUtv every Sunday for her "church". General Conference was an extra treat for her. Two days of church and two days of guidance from her Heavenly Father.
A few days after she passed away, we spent time cleaning out her apartment and I found a stack of note cards where she had scrawled her thoughts and feelings from conference. I still have them.
Yesterday I couldn't help but to think what she would have written down when Elder Holland spoke about mental illness during the Saturday afternoon session. Elder Holland's talk can be found here-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq4-7rK3dUM
I hope she knows that I understand.
I hope she feels relief from the pains that inflicted her.
I hope she is experiencing true happiness.
