Ep. 100 Choosing Love After The Unthinkable

from Love and Compassion with Gissele · host Gissele Taraba

Would you be able to forgive your child's murderer after a school shooting? would you be able to have compassion for the person who took your son away? In this powerful conversation, I speak to Scarlett Lewis, founder of the Choose Love Movement, whose son Jesse was killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. Scarlett talks about why hatred doesn't work, why forgiveness is so essential for healing, and why caring for her son's killer and choosing love, is the only way we may finally be able to address school shootings.
