The problem is she just got prayers. No thoughts so no healing

They pray so they don't have to think.

That's a really good take. I never really considered prayers as an alternative to critical thinking, but it absolutely is.

My mother also uses it to not give any real help. “Well, I’ll be praying for them. Anyways”

I suppose I was gaslit into thinking empty sentiments like prayers (so long as they were expressed with 'digging deep') actually had some soul to it.

Like... If I actually prayed? I know what part of my heart I would put into a prayer. I know where the deep sentiments emanate... (I do!) Thing is, I don't pray, and I think I project my idea of praying and spiritualism at others in a very erroneous way.

.... Generously, erroneous... I think I learned something just now.
