Sad about Tsunami

I am starting to feel a little better. Last night I just had images of people losing their entire families. How does one cope when they lose everybody? What is the fate of the orphans that have lost their parents and brothers and sisters? What is the psychological impact? The whole thing is a nightmare. A true disaster of biblical proportions. I am so sad for these people. I know I may be taking this harder than the average person. Maybe I am overly-sensitive. Tragedies happen all of the time, but this is such a huge amount of people that are in the depths of despair.

Life is so precious, and I am so grateful that I am healthy and I have my wonderful family around me.

Thank you to everybody that replied. I am glad I am not alone. My sister said she was worried about me, that maybe I needed psychological counseling, in a half-kidding way. I just think that this has affected me because I see people that could be me. When a Swedish man was holding his little blonde baby looking for his wife, that little baby looks like my ds.

Thank you for letting me share, and thank you for your posts. I think most human beings are giving, compassionate people.
