Reply #82: I wouldn't dwell on that if I were them.

Like I said in a post this morning, I know of someone who I heard of secondhand from friends years ago who died about a week after a head injury--and he HAD been checked out in the meantime, at the urging of his friends, and pronounced OK. He still died.

I hope very much that no one blames themselves or thinks they could have done anything different. It's aching and pointless to think that way.

I am sure your kids can deal with the "mushiness." We can never tell the people we love that we love them too many times.

RIP, Natasha, and condolences to all the loved ones.
