Gardenergirl, that is a great resource you posted, thanks!

Debbie, You don't at all sound uncaring, and reading your post reminds me of lots of the info I am seeing on how to cope during hard times. Says to limit exposure to media, to distract ourselves when we can, keep things in realistic perspective, and do what we can to feel in control. In control can mean donating some funds to the rescue efforts, gives us a chance to actually do something.

Your stories are also important as our history, hope you have written or will write your memories down.

To all participating in this thread, thank you! I would love to hear from others also on how they are coping.

Sarah
