There was a terrible tragedy here in this region last week and the details have just come out. A woman with a family of her own (husband, two teenage children) picked up her twin sister's young children to take them for a sleepover. But instead she seemed to flip out mid-trip, crossing the interstate median, parking the wrong direction in the break-down lane, getting oput of the car, undressing her self and the two children, and carrying them into traffic and certain death. They were hit by two (unsuspecting) cars.
The official word is that she had some kind of mental breakdown, which no one can figure out since she seemed fine when she picked up the kids.
The paper had a picture of the kids today.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2008/01/death_of_woman.htmlI always assume kids pass over easier than us adults so when I try to meditate and send love, I assume the kids are OK. The aunt, I'm not so sure about. But the familt is reported to be in great distress and it seemed like a helpful thing to ask others to send positive energy to them.
When I try to mediatate, I "see" a woman crying out, but I'm not so sure if I am seeing something or projecting what I think I would feel, though it is hard to imagine being in this situation. Is it the aunt, the mother, the grandmother, the aunt's chiuldren who cry out? the drivers of the cars? Are the kids OK but sad from the distress the ones here feel?
No one seems to know what to think; this is so strange.
