Lindy Chamberlain Questions

How has Lindy suffered?
-       Lost her children (all of them in a sense)
-       Spent many years in jail for a crime she didn’t commit
-       Everyone knows her and her life wouldn’t be the same in Australia
-       Lost her husband as well
-       She feels as though she has encountered evil

How does she view the role of God in her suffering?
-       She doesn’t believe it was God’s fault but the “evil” fault
-       God forgives no matter what as long as you are honest about your intentions
-       She heavily believes that God is with her and listens and that she can make it through and cope with God

What are the outcomes of her pain and suffering?
-       She had such an emotional overload that she felt a sudden peace when she felt God with her
-       She doesn’t blame God but thinks that it was just meant to happen
-       She doesn’t think that there is a meaning to life

List interesting points that she makes
-       Why not her? Otherwise it was just going to happen to another parent
-       She was segregated because of her religion
-       By actually saying God and Jesus out loud she felt different like a weight lifted

What were your overall impressions of Lindy and what she has experienced?

-       I feel as though she has taken it well and seems quite peaceful about it now as she knew the whole time that she was being honest and knew she was right. Even though she struggled, especially in jail, she tried to cope and turning to God was one of her methods. She has every right to be angry yet she seems quite reserved and would prefer to move past it. I do think it strange though that she didn’t mention anything about her husband and her other kids as it would be hard going back to Australia after being through so much but I feel as though your kids would override that.
