I knew the family. Visited them in their Beechmount Grove home many years ago - long before Peggy went to Australia. Pearse was the only one dead at that time.

But that is no reason to void it.<br /><br /><br />I endeavoured to higlight that more than a listening ear is required and that a listening heart and soul is needed.<br /><br /><br />I am concerned about any forum that excludes the stories as told from the perspective of the family could be dishonouring their loss and the life of their dead family member.<br /><br />Yes my memory recalls how grief was utilized as a platform in the press by Church leaders, Politicians and others. The families were in a frozen state of animated suspension. They were more focussed on mourning and burying their loved one with dignity to be concerned with the indignant behaviour in the media by others. <br /><br /><br />Decades has passed now and some families are thawing out from their animated suspension state and remembering how they were exploited and how their loved ones were misrepresented. This is still a source of anguish and regret for them today. <br /><br /><br />Perhaps a better forum will air the familes truth and not only record but let their story be told - their way, perhaps. <br /><br /><br />SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-54105562898911573742009-05-07T10:47:00.000+01:002009-05-07T10:47:00.000+01:00Sean,<br /><br />A comment like that can surprise a person. I never called you a hypocrite. People like me, anonymous posters shoot their mouth off much too quickly.<br /><br />It was a good piece and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, hopefully I'll be reading more of you here. <br /><br />My apologies if you took it as insulting. It wasn't meant that way, merely an observation, that others may agree with or not.Sophie.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-77446039115143367112009-05-07T03:35:00.000+01:002009-05-07T03:35:00.000+01:00Thank you for your comment Sophie. Your reading is right I am criticising politicians among others listed for point scoring and digging up the graves and leaving the bones there for families to rebury over and over again.<br /><br /><br />If you read that i am also guilty of what I condemn then I am a hyopcrite and I deserve and fully accept your criticism Sophie.<br /><br /><br /><br />Go raibh mile maith agat <br /><br />SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-91993039161450670662009-05-06T22:30:00.000+01:002009-05-06T22:30:00.000+01:00Well, ya know, the Bible is pretty clear on things like this.......<br />As twice divorced, then re-married, now a Widow......

Even if it is only a listening ear, but hopefully more.Sophie.noreply@blogger.com
