The 'Ongoing After' of Grief: A Mother Copes With Her Young Son's Suicide (Video)

My son also commited suicide. He was older, 21.  It is the most terrible thing that a parent can go through.  You feel the guilt, what could I have done, and the despaire.  I was surrounded by people who gave me a lot of support and listened to me.  I found that was the most important thing - talk about it.  I miss my son each and every day and am grateful that he was a part to my life even if it was for just a while.

Should the U.S. be more involved in the election aftermath in Iran?

I find it hard to take any thing McCain says about Iran.  After all he said "bomb, bomb Iran".Presidnat Obama is taking the rightstance.

Where is your favorite off-the-beaten-track destination?

My favorite place is the island of Delos in the Agean sea.  It is like being in another world.

What book that you know you should read – but haven't gotten around to yet – haunts you from your bedside table?

I am glad there are other people who read the way I do.  I usually have 3 books going at the time.  I am presently reading about about Ceaser, a spy triller by Daniel Silva and David McCullough’s book "1776".  I am in a lot of pain, and a book can take me to far away places and the pain is gone.

What is your favorite awards show?

I totaly agree.  The Toney award show is a class act all the way.  Three cheers for Angela Lansbury!

The wowOwow Summer Reading List

My friends and I are all avid readers, but we do not read the same things.  One of the nice thing about books as well a music, there is something for everyone.

Do you watch late-night television?

I agree, give me a choice between a good book and TV, the book will win out every time.

What Is Dick Cheney Thinking? Peggy Rometo Speaks

when ever I think of Cheney I think of Macheavelli.  The man does not have a conscience.  He is houmorless. I just wish he would keep quiet.

Aside from your own, of course, who is your favorite 'Mother'?

I grew up in a family of strong women.  My fathers mother came across the country in a covered wagon, my mother’s mother was also a pioneer.  My mother worked two jobs during the depression and got a college education as well.  I learned to be independent, caring, and a problem solver from these women.  They are all gone now and I miss them, but I am proud to have had these wonderfull (including my aunts) people in my life.
