[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678980, member: 18958"] You know, I watch the news a lot and have watched the public support and community for parents of children killed by police and other violent acts. But that support seems like it comes with a price: Choosing to be visible and to lend your story to being publicized. A very public parading of your grief. It sounds like KLMNO would not have welcomed that trade off or borne it well. I am remembering about a highly sensationalized crime, a kidnap, molest and killing of a girl with divorced parents, Polly Klaas. The father became a celebrity and later a victims rights advocate and a member of the parole board of my state. To me he seemed like a highly vindictive man. The mother grieved in private. I never heard of her again. None of us knows how we would deal with the loss of everything. We think we might, but we do not. In my case, when my son began to crash and burn, I thought I had lost everything. I had nobody. But I did have my work. And later M. What I would have done to make meaning out of a life I felt had completely become empty, myself a person with nothing, I do not know. I would like to think I would have found somebody, something to do constructive, like foster children or animals. Something. But when I was at my worst, I lived in my bed. For over two years, and my son had not been killed violently within my hearing. He was very much alive. Who is to know, what they would do. I understand her act. Still I wish she had seen found another way. I wonder if on some level she blamed herself, and that was the horrible self-accusation that she could not move beyond? And she decided on the death penalty, for what she may have perceived as her failure to save her child. What we do here together here on CD is save each other's lives. Or at least try. COPA [/QUOTE]
