Default Not what I expected!

I'm reading Elizabeth Edwards book Resilience and even though I'd seen her on Oprah's show talking about it...it isn't at all what I thought it would be.

She talks about losing their son Wade in an automobile accident when he was only 16 and the struggle she had coming to grips with his death...the questioning of her faith, the why God why...and she talks about being very active in an internet grief chat room..how all the people there held each other together and gradually came to "know" the person who had died...know through the sharing with complete strangers

Here is a woman of wealth, who has all the "means" for private counseling talking in a chatroom on the internet!
