Comment Statement after death a grave mistake? (Score 1) 127

As others have said, this was done during sentencing, where apparently, in the US at least, everything is admissible.
Making up evidence would be a completely different story.
What I retain from the article is that one family member felt "waves of healing". Believe me, anything helping to move on from a tragic loss should be at least taken into consideration and not dismissed outright just because it's new.

That said, considering the spiritual angle, there are indeed dangers lurking as reported in this article:

Let's keep an open mind.

Comment Time together (Score 1) 698

It would appear your daughter is smart and it also appear you are being very courageous. Qualities which tell me that, one way or another, eventually, everything will be fine.
The important thing is to spend some time with your daughter. This way she will feel loved, and armed with loads of self worth, there are no challenges she will not be able to face. Wisdom, knowledge, values, I know you already know you can trust her to make the right choices in life.
So time together, just conversations with random subjects, or silly games if she is too young, and loads of smiles and cuddles, moments you may want to record, will most probably be the most valuable use of your time. These videos of your interaction together will be worth a lot more than monologues. It will make your connection real.
If you think there is wisdom that you need to pass on, maybe you should put together a list of books, together with a few lines explaining what you found in them. When your daughter reads these books, she may experience the same emotions you have, and that will bring you together across the time divide.
(I am trying to remember what books influenced me and all I can think is that line where Tintin says to a vengeful Captain Haddock "If we kill them (their attackers) then we would be as bad as them" [The Crab with the Golden Claws]).
Putting that list together should take a lot less time, while capitalising on the skills of the writers and their talent to share knowledge.
Good luck.
