Thank you for pointing this out, Redfish. I agree that the comments about SH's gift were troubling. That being said, I think most of us have said cruel or hurtful things in the past--maybe out of frustration, maybe complaining to distract ourselves from the real problems in our lives, maybe just because we felt like it. I have certainly found myself saying things I regretted while chatting with my closest friend, just because my guard is down and it can feel good to get those minor frustrations off of your chest.
It really makes you think...we all have this reasonable ecpectation of privacy, but as situations like this show, that expectation is in no way guaranteed. I'm sure the last thing TS would have wanted was for SH to hear such a hurtful conversation repeated. It certainly makes me feel more aware of my own behavior, knowing that a conversation that I may consider just 'blowing off steam' could very well be the last memory of me that a loved one has.
Great post!!! I agree totally and every once in a while a need a reminder to "check" myself and some of these interviews have reminded me how hurtful words can be so use them cautiously.
I also understand that it's very important that EVERYTHING needs to be revealed and investigated and my heart goes out to those being interviewed as well as some of the innocents being discussed in the interviews. I just wish I could go back and unhear some of the personal things I heard and unsee some of the personal things I've seen that we now know are irrelevant to the case. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to investigate and understand and sometimes I just feel like a creepy peeper ...... Ugghhhh
