Episode Description
Many if not most of us have known the pain of losing a loved one. Such parting, though difficult, is an integral and unavoidable scene in the human drama. Yet, no matter how certain it may be for mankind to suffer loss, it is still, in the raw reality of a loved one’s permanent absence, a most singular experience. We may feel another’s pain, we may genuinely empathize with their loss, we may have all the compassion in the world…yet to each of us, the depth of our own grief and pain is ultimately a very personal and private journey. But sorrow is only one facet of the experience of loss. The flip side is joy! Though some will curse God for the losses they suffer, it is through acceptance of such painful lessons that we may gain self-mastery and see in that moment of loss the true depth of God’s love. How? By embracing Life with all its ups and downs and recognizing the journey for what it is: the road home to God’s heart! And the difference between suffering and joy? Choice.

Terry Canady and Thom Schumacher
Terry Canady, singer/songwriter, was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and his performing and recording career has spanned nearly five decades. Recording a #1 hit record, “Mama Bear,” in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1970s was the highlight of his career and eventually led to the creation of his own record and publishing company, Saint Adrian, through which he has produced a number of records and albums, most recently a patriotic CD titled “Give Me Liberty.” He continues to accept narration, commercial and voice-over work from his home in the beautiful Paradise Valley, just a few miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
Thom Schumacher is a copywriter, ex-seminarian, singer, percussionist, talker, plays a mean penny whistle, lyricist, RE broker and, most importantly, a student of the ascended masters. He has been gifted with an exceptional family, survived 3 marathons, navigated some very potent astrology (double Pisces!) and continuously juggles a myriad of creative challenges, not the least of which is hosting The OPEN DOOR. The threads that run through the crazy quilt of his life are love of God, Life, wife, family and gratitude for all the opportunities along the way to learn and grow.
