Mother of Newtown Victim Hears from Son [View all]

This is a story about a mother who had a visitation from her son who was killed last week. He tells her about the scope of the event and how it is touching so many people.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bereft-sandy-hook-mom-son-vision-article-1.1224903

The part about the visitation is relatively short. Most of this story is about how the parents found out they were victims.

Still, I think it's amazing that a major "mainstream" newspaper would report such an event. As all of us here know, such stories are usually given short shrift. But yes, a major daily is reporting on a visit from the other side.

The times: they are a 'changing.

I am happy that this mother has received a measure of comfort from this visit. According to the story, it has completely changed her grieving experience.
