[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Monetizing a tragedy in any form gives me pause. I don’t understand the rush to establish a foundation or charity, write a book, become a speaker, establish oneself as a paid talking head/expert. It’s narcissistic. I get the grief and shock and trauma but question why any funding or outreach or expertise might be used in a less public manner. Establish a scholarship. Contribute towards a well known project or quietly give to local charities that are meaningful and significant to you. Kind of gross to realize that you can make a full time job out of grief and loss and literally profit from it all.[/quote] I completely understand why parents would start of foundation aimed at preventing similar deaths of other children. It's a way to feel that their child did not die in vain or to feel they can take some control in a situation that makes you feel completely powerless and out of control. I don't think it is necessarily narcissistic. [/quote]
