I often hear and repeat these phrases..be positive..please use your words..
hour of power talks of possibility thinking etc..so I wondered why we refer to all grownups as adults, when that implies adultery and sleazy behaviour.
Words I've heard are powerful, and adults seems so negative, like malicious gossip and depressed ravings.

I am wondering if there is a word to describe the following: guilt felt by a person after a loved one dies, because he/she feels they didn't pray enough for the individual before they passed.

Leaving them thinking that if they prayed longer or harder, the loved one might still be with them.
