[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of a blog post by a woman who lost her daughter to cancer. She was similarly offended when she heard the mom of a surviver say she "wasn't going to let cancer take (her) daughter away". As though the difference between moms whose kids died and those that didn't was just will power. I think people really can't bear the thought that life is so cruel and random sometimes and say such things to assure themselves they have some control. It's natural but still quite offensive. [/quote] I agree, I see this platitude thrown around all the time in the special needs community and it is offensive there as well. And it's always expressed in hindsight. Like here, Giuliana is able to tell us AFTER her baby is born that all it took was not quitting. Hmmmm. So easy for her to say.[/quote]
