Sunstone Symposium: Why Emma stayed in Nauvoo
"When people ask what caused a change in Emma's behavior, what they really are asking is 'Why didn't she goes west with the Saints?' And when people say she was wrong for remaining in Nauvoo, they are implying they know what she should have done," Richard Delewski said at the Sunstone Symposium on Thurs., Aug. 13.
Delewski is a trained, licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience working in mental health. He looked at Emma's decision to remain in Nauvoo through the eyes of a therapist.
"Some people might say that something about her changed and that is why she did not come to Salt Lake Valley," Delewski said. "I will suggest that she DIDN'T change. In order to understand this, we need to look at her personality and what she experienced prior to the death of Joseph."
