Podcast appearances and mentions of jeanne bishop

If you were the victim of a crime, what would you want to happen to the person responsible? How would you manage grief, anger and forgiveness? In this episode of the Truth Be Told podcast, host Dave Thompson, a Certified Forensic Interviewer speaks with Jeanne Bishop about her personal tragedy and her journey towards forgiveness and advocacy against the death penalty.  Jeanne is an author, a professor at Northwestern University School of Law and an attorney at the Cook County Public Defender's Office. In this episode, Jeanne shares her story of losing her sister in a violent crime and how it shaped her views on justice and mercy. The conversation delves into the Oklahoma City bombing, her relationship with Bud Welch, father of Julie Welch - one of the victims of the horrific event.  Jeanne also discusses the connection she formed with Bill McVeigh, the father of the bomber. Through their stories, Jeanne emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding, and the power of communication in healing and reconciliation. Truths: Anger is a natural response to loss, but it can be managed. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting; it means letting go of anger. Each person has their own timetable on processing grief and anger. Allowing somebody to share their story without judgement helps in obtaining reliable, genuine information. Communication is key to understanding different perspectives. Healing is a personal journey that varies for everyone. Empathy can bridge the gap between victims and perpetrators' families. Jeanne's work emphasizes the importance of victim advocacy.

My friends, the coronavirus pandemic is affecting each of us in some way. I urge you, Live Inspired community, to keep you + your loved ones happy + healthy. I want today's episode to instill some sense of normalcy and provide positivity + hope in this uncertain time. Sunday marks the 25-year anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.  Many of us were left searching for healing + hope after the deadliest domestic act of terrorism in our country's history. Two mired in darkness were Bud Welch, a father of one of the victims, and Bill McVeigh, the father of Timothy McVeigh. Before learning about the astonishing forgiveness that led to an extraordinary friendship between Bud + Bill, Jeanne Bishop shares her own transformative journey to reconciliation. Jeanne,  author + law reform advocate, details what led to finding forgiveness with the murderer of her sister + brother-in-law.  Today’s emotionally powerful episode will inspire you to see the hope, freedom + joy that comes from forgiveness + reconciliation.  SHOW NOTES: Jeanne's Story April 7, 1990: "I'll see you tomorrow," were the last words Jeanne said to her younger sister Nancy before she was tragically murdered along with her husband + unborn child. Love is stronger than death. In Nancy's final moments, she drug herself towards her husband, using her own blood to write "Love You" which gives Jeanne peace, knowing that she died in love. Hating someone else is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Wanting Nancy's memory to be life-saving + life-giving, Jeanne forgave the killer in order to free herself. After 22 years, Jeanne wrote the killer a letter expressing her forgiveness + offering to visit him in prison. He wrote back sharing his remorse + showing how he grasped the enormity of his crimes, giving Jeanne justice. From murderer to friend: Jeanne has formed a bond with her family's killer, having hope + expectation that he passes along every bit of good he can do whether he's in prison the rest of his life or not. "The more I get to know them from you, the worse I feel about what I did." - Nancy's killer to Jeanne. Bill McVeigh + Bud Welch's Story: April 19, 1995: A truck bomb placed by Timothy McVeigh exploded outside Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people including 23-year-old Julie Welch, making it the deadliest domestic terror attack in US history. Sister Roz, a Catholic nun who councils prisoners at the infamous Attica Prison, introduced Bud Welch (Julie's father) to Bill McVeigh (Timothy's father). Realizing the hate Bud harbored for Timothy was not healing him, he sought to break the cycle of retaliation, revenge and bloodshed.  "Vengeance begets vengeance; hate breeds more hate. Reconciliation is altogether different; it changes us and changes the world, one human heart at a time." "We will only defeat evil with the amazing, forgiving reconciling love of God." The Survivor Tree: Julie would park under the only tree that would provide relief from the sweltering Oklahoma summers + it survived the attack. Bud sees that tree as a living symbol of Julie. Learn more about the tree here. Do you cry? Not feeling that he deserved to cry over the loss of his son, Bill finally felt free to cry after Bud acknowledged his son's humanity. "There is hope. There is light. You don’t have to be mired in darkness. You don’t have to be pinned under a rock of defeat, hate, anger + disappointment. God wants to lift you into a life of freedom + joy."

Jeanne Bishop, Attorney, Author, Social Justice Leader   On Friday, January 6, 2017, at Noon At the Union League Club The First Friday Club of Chicago Welcomes Attorney and Author Jeanne Bishop   Who will address the topic “Forgiveness: The impossible virtue”   Many people in Chicago remember the horrible events of an unspeakable crime that took place in the northern suburbs 26 years ago.  Newspaper and television coverage was extensive and emotionally exhausting.  The story is familiar but the names of the people involved appear to have been forgotten.   Our speaker, Jeanne Bishop and her family, seemed to be living the American Dream.  She and her siblings were born and raised in a quiet, safe, well to do suburb.  She attended Northwestern University and had a good job at a top Chicago law firm.   The world changed for them on a dark night in 1990, just before Easter.  After a family dinner to celebrate the impending birth of her younger sister’s baby, tragedy struck.  Jeanne received a phone call the next morning. Her sister Nancy, brother-in-law Richard, and the unborn baby were gone.  Murdered in their own home, in the sleepy village of Winnetka.  … How? … Why?   Did the family experience crushing sadness? Yes. Was there anger and bitterness?  Maybe at first.  Was there a Desire for Revenge??   Jeanne will share her long journey of Forgiveness.  A journey that started when she told the police investigators that she didn't want to hate anybody.  Along the way she spent time with the author of Dead Man Walking, Sister Helen Prejean, lobbied Gov. George Ryan about the death penalty, and met others who challenged her to examine her faith and Christian beliefs.   Would you have the courage or compassion to go to the prison where your sister’s murderer was incarcerated? Could you tell him he was Forgiven? Is Forgiveness an impossible virtue?    

Bishop's book's subtitle is JUSTICE, MERCY AND MAKING PEACE WITH MY SISTER'S KILLER. Bishop forgave her sister's killer before he sought forgiveness. She speaks out against the death penalty.
