I think she's doing a good thing. I feel for those kids. It's pretty tragic that he couldn't/didn't chose his kids over heroine.

I think she is trying to do something to make sense out of this tragedy. So often, family members who are left behind when there is a senseless tragedy like this will take the cause on as a life's mission. As a way of coping.
I went to a funeral once where the mom looked so happy, like it was a surprise birthday party for her. It turned out the mother had Munchhausen by proxy. And significantly contributed to the death of her child. The smiles here give me the willies. How do you ask your children to smile in front of their father's dead body.
I feel for those kids as well. I was that little girl back in 1974. My dad was found dead on the street. I had nightmares about my dad in the coffin for years I hope those kids have some serious, committed backup. I didn't and paid a dear price in my 20's and 30's. I ended up fighting with my own addictions as well. I've been clean/sober for 13+years. My own son is married with a family and rarely drinks. I'm glad and grateful the cycle is coming to a halt.
Hugs and love to the kiddos.
Wow, I'm thankful you were able to help stop the cycle. God bless!
For those of you disturbed by the children's smiles, children don't know death like adults do. They don't fully comprehend their future without a father yet. When someone is taking a picture, what are they always told to do? Smile.
It's called Real Life. Those children have had to live with much worse than this & so has their mother...those of you that are made squeamish by this have, fortunately for you, led very sheltered lives.
