[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 23678, member: 3353"] Somehow, when we know, or know of, the parents whose children make the papers, it adds a whole new facet to the grief we all feel at what has happened to us and to our own families. I always find it interesting that while I can experience compassion ~ immediate, non-judgmental compassion ~ for those parents, I tend not to extend that same grace to myself. Kathy, do you remember the name of that book you had suggested I read? Something about how the kinds of things we have all been through can affect a parent's self concept? I never did run across it (accidentally on purpose, I presume?!?), but I think I am ready to read it, now. Barbara [/QUOTE]
