    How We Began

         We began when Denny and Matt, who are brothers, studied at St. Louis University as part of their Jesuit formation.  Their pastoral care training included working at Wohl Psychiatric Clinic with troubled patients.  On weekends they gave healing retreats to people who had experienced hurts similar to those of the patients at Wohl, but who by the end of the retreat came to see the gifts that had come out of those hurts.  What made the difference between the troubled patients at Wohl and the grateful retreatants?  It seemed to be forgiveness.  

         Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross had recently identified the five stages of dying: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. She found that people would naturally move through those stages if accompanied by someone who loved them unconditionally.  We (Denny and Matt) realized that the stages of dying are the same as the stages of forgiveness.   Our patients at Wohl seemed stuck in the anger or depression stages, whereas many of our retreatants who had found the gifts in their hurts had been able to move on to acceptance.  We began to adapt the processes that helped people move through the stages of dying and used them to help people move through the stages of forgiveness.

         We experimented with this on weekend retreats and wrote our first book, Healing of Memories, as a term paper for a pastoral theology class (actually, Denny submi

    Matthew Linn Bruce (October 1, 1860 – February 26, 1936) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

    Early life and education

    Bruce was born October 1, 1860, in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Dr. James Bruce and Mary (Linn) Bruce (c. 1830 – 1907). He was educated at Andes Academy, and graduated A.B. from Rutgers College as valedictorian of the class of 1884. Then he studied law in the office of Cassius M. Shaw at Andes, N.Y., and was admitted to the bar in 1889.

    Career

    In 1890 moved to New York City where he resided in the Twenty-first Assembly District. He was managing clerk in the office of Hector M. Hitchings until 1892, and then opened his own law office. In 1894, he married Lillian (Ballantine) Knapp, and they had four children.

    In 1903, he was president of the New York County Republican Committee, and conducted the unsuccessful campaign of Mayor Seth Low for re-election.

    He was the lieutenant governor of New York from 1905 to 1906, elected in 1904, but defeated for re-election in November 1906 although his running mate Charles Evans Hughes was elected governor. All other Republican candidates were defeated by the nominees of the Democratic/Independence League fusion ticket. On December 5, 1906, he resigned and was appointed by Governor Frank W. Higgins a justice of the New York Supreme Court to fill t

         MATTHEW (also MATHEW) POLLOCK LINN, born about 1837/38, was the son of James Linn and Jane (Pollock) Linn of South Strabane Township, Washington, Pennsylvania. James was the son of Revolutionary War patriot James M. Linn, Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth Young, early settlers in Washington County. [See Daughters of the American Revolution Lineages below.]

         There was another Matthew Linn in South Strabane Twp., just slightly older than the 1st West Virginia Cavalry soldier. The other Matthew was the son of Matthew Linn, another son of James M. Linn, Sr. Therefore, the two younger Matthew Linns were first cousins. According to J. H. Beers' Biography of Samuel Linn (another son of the older Matthew Linn), in Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893), this other Matthew, brother of Samuel, "died in the army." A Matthew Linn is listed in Company "A" 85th Pennsylvania Infantry but it is unknown if this was the same man.
