Writing can be a comfort

      Recently, the famous Colombine High School shooter's mother has published a book and appeared on TV to talk about it. It was a horrible history and even I remembered the massacre in wich so many students were shot dead and the two shooters commit suicide after. I was curious to know how the mother of one shooter could bear the result and lived with it. She might hope to die together. 

      Time can heal every wound. 17 years later, she seemed very calm to talk about the past. In the interview, the dialoguer showed more worry that the author who answered all her question very clearly and with almost the same tone. The mom emphasized that the goal of the book is to tell other parents how to dialogue with their teens and help the psychological research to do more work on mind illness. 

      I was very interested in this book but i wonder how she wrote it. What was the feeling when she was writing the terrible story. Every time she looked back to that period, she may experienced the same nightmare. How did she comment on her role. Between a mom and her child, the relationship is the most complex.

     I think that writing has a huge power. Roland Barthes suffered a lot when he lost his mom but he made the wonderful book La chambre claire. One of my friends has wrote a book of his father's death. Examples are numerous. If one wants to find something to help him, just write. When you write, you can think clearly and get rid of the fear and anxiety.
