Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Did anyone see Oprah on Wednesday? Her guest were all great. The one who was primarily featured was Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards. She has just released a book entitled Saving Graces. It is about her family's experience of losing their 16 year old son in a car accident in 1996 I believe and also about her surviving breast cancer which was diagnosed one day after her husband lost the vice- presidential race.

I was so proud of her. She and her husband are both attorneys and lived in Raleigh until he won the Senate seat. They both are excellent attorneys. I think they may have moved back here since her illness.

Her take on grieving and accepting the death of a loved one was so touching. She talked about how message boards were so helpful to her when she was adjusting to her son's death. She includes some of those stories in her book. I intend to read it.

I then saw the interview with Barbara Walters of Steve Irwin's widow. Oh, my, I cried like a baby. It was uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. Did anyone else see it?
