Relapse
Grief affects each parent differently as time
goes by.
The mother has found a unique way to avoid dealing with her grief. She is caught in a vicious cycle and must find a way to break the cycle for everyone in the family, including the child.
This small group study will provide discussion points related to addictions, playing God, and dealing properly with grief. Viewers will be encouraged to think critically about the various topics addressed in the original short film. The small group leader will be provided with the tools to promote discussion and to implement spiritual truths from God’s Word to give answers to questions that may arise from the discussion.
