Dorrie, 69, Royal Palm beach Florida

It amazes me how when I am deep in despair over the loss of my children, and I decide to not just think of my loss but to pray in solidarity with all those mothers in the world who have lost theirs, I feel that warm glow of peace well up from deep inside me. During these most pain filled moments I feel connected to all humanity’s pain, and for some reason that makes me feel comforted. All I want to do is love all people at those moments. Accept all. Forgive all. And love all.
