I watched both 9/11 and Waco as they happened, and I was moved to tears by both, realizing what was happening before my eyes.
However, it is important not to become consumed by grief to the exclusion of all else. IMO the best tribute we can pay to our fallen is to remember and to go on.

I've been lost in my thoughts today since I woke to the memorial ceremony for the 9/11 victims. As you pointed out, Dr. Smith, it is good that I feel compassion. This wasn't always the case for me, so it is a positive move forward for me. In addition, I'm relieved that I'm able to feel empathy for others. In a weird way, today is a victory for me!
