This practice of disconnection is PURE EVIL and we must bring it and its perpetrators to an end.

My sympathies and condolences go out to you Mike. You wrote a lovely eulogy and I applaud your determination to end the terrible abuse of ‘disconnection.’

While I have been critical of you in the past, my heart goes out to you at this poignant moment and final affront to you through the loss of what might have been a few, irreplaceable, precious moments with the woman who bore you.
Best of luck putting an end to this cruel, vicious and hypocritical (and oh so typically representative) practice from this vile cult that turns love and family in to blackmail and heartbreak, good will and eagerness to help into shock troops and slave labour, babies and children into hostages, and the very idea of ‘ethics’ into a sick psychotic joke.
No one on earth deserves this. You clearly loved and treasured this woman in spite of everything, and while I understand your guilt in not having dropped everything and rushed to her side as you should have done, you cannot let this colour your memories of her (which are all you have) or Scientology will have won, having turned Love into Gold yet again (your love into DM’s gold of course).
You loved each other No one can take that away from you, and the fact that you were both human and fallible just throws into greater relief the inhumanity of this mechanism.
Peace.

I have not been able to speak with her since 2005, and I hope that when she passes, some kind soul also emails me with particulars. I am her oldest of 6 children, and my siblings I hope are making her later years as pleasant as possible. I send condolences on the loss of your great Mother. I also join you in resolve to see this policy that separates families, cancelled and the subject of scientology reformed.

I don’t think a Mother as you have described can ever really disconnect her hear from you. Disconnection is a sick way to control individuals. Big warm Hugs to you and your family.

Right Birgit – as opposed to the late 70’s where you’d walk up to people and ask if they’d ever heard of it and they hadn’t at all. It was a clean canvas to paint upon so you could actually communicate without HUGE handle. Now it’s nearly impossible to talk to people about Scientology without having them look at you like “Are YOU with that strange cult?”
The only handle for this seems to be to tell them something like, “Oh, I’m not with the corporate version anymore. You’re right. I don’t know what they’re doing. I’m independent now and have been helping people with it.” Then, the people get interested because their guard goes down against “that crazy cult.”
If we all wanted to, and we coordinated in just the smallest way, we could do more Scientology in any given week than the “church” could do in a month. Just sayin’.

I am SO sorry honey.

And know what? You look a lot like your mama. 🙂
