Another moron writing a book about the "Heaven delusion..."
The guy is broken up over his daughter dying.
He convinces himself he sees "signs" of her in "heaven."
Daughters message from beyond the grave inspires book
As a journalism instructor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Mark Zoromski teaches his students about facts, reports our sister station WISN.
We never take somebodys word for something, Zoromski said. We always confirm. We check.
Thats why questions of faith have always been challenging.
How can we confirm that theres a heaven? he said. Let alone how can we confirm our loved ones can send us messages from heaven?
Yet thats what hes come to believe after suffering tremendous loss.
You never get through it, he said. Youre always going through it.
Zoromski lost his 16-year-old daughter Kate in a car crash on Interstate 43 near Highway C in Ozaukee County in November of 2007.
Youre in shock for the first x-amount of time, he said. Then youre in pain. Just mind-numbing pain.
To help ease that pain, he sought out others who could truly empathize, namely Sandy Doedens.
Doedens lost her 17-year-old daughter, Niki three years prior. Niki died in a car crash on Highway 60 in Cedarburg.
Doedens faith helped her cope. And she felt faith could help Zoromski too.
I believe that God and Niki send me signs that Nikis OK, Doedens told Zoromski. And Kate will send them to you but you have to believe.
Theyre signs theyve come to call God winks.
Its a coincidence thats too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence, Zoromski said.
For instance, when Niki and her friend vacationed in Florida two years before Nikis death, they went parasailing.
All of a sudden, the girls look down and they see a whale, or so they thought, Doedens said.
The whale was really just a shadow of the parasail.
They came back and we razzed them about that forever, Doedens said.
But when the family went back to that same vacation spot the month after Niki died, the most unusual thing happened. For the first time in decades, two North Atlantic Right Whales, a most endangered species, really were in the bay.
A mother and baby whale, she said. They were right in front of our hotel.
Doedens also shared the story of Joy Krenkes God wink. Her son, James, died in 1992.
She believed James was in heaven, Zoromski recalled. But she needed to feel it.
The first Christmas after James death, the Krenke family took a road trip far away from Wisconsin. As they drove along a desolate Nevada highway, James brother felt compelled to suddenly stop.
They park, they walk down the path to this scenic overlook down in the valley, Zoromski said. And theres this stone retaining wall, and spray-painted in huge letters is James is fine.
Zoromski has since found his own God wink from Kate. It came in a miracle three-pointer her friend sank, helping the Grafton girls team advance toward a state championship. She knew it was a bad shot, Zoromski said. She said, I dont know why I shot that. Something made me shoot it.
Yeah, Kate did, he told her. Shes sitting on your shoulder because I asked her to.
Zoromski said he gets such comfort from these stories that hes decided to search for more and write a book.
I want to reach people like me, he said. I want to reach the people who arent strong like Sandy and who need to start believing again.
Believing in something that cant be confirmed. But to this journalist is undeniably real.
