| Foundation for Grieving Children in Oprah Magazine |
MaryMac, our founder, speaks to…
Jonathan Vatner in his article on Disenfranchised Grief in February’s edition of O Magazine. This type of grief concerns those who feel their pain is socially unacceptable, such as the death of a pet, the loss of a married lover, the suicide or homicide death of a family member or friend, the death of an ex-spouse.

| Adam Walsh – 10,005 Days of Uncertainty |
Adam Walsh – 10,005 Days of Uncertainty
The FGC is thrilled to join with other crime victim rights advocates across the United States in remembering little Adam Walsh…
Adam Walsh – 10,005 Days of Uncertainty
It has taken 27 years, 4 months and 20 days for John and Reve Walsh, their family, friends and the committed law enforcement officials to say those words. It has taken 10,005 days!
Think about that for one moment...10,005 days.
Little Adam graced his family's lives for only 6 years, 8 months and 14 days or 2,447 days before he was brutally murdered by Ottis Toole in Florida back on July 27, 1981.
Doing a bit of math, that says that it literally took three times more days to solve this crime than this precious little one lived on our earth.
When you've lived with an unsolved murder, as my former husband, his family and I had for 18 years, following the 1984 Long Island murder of his daughter, 11 year old Angela Wong, you understand this. You understand and learn too quickly that there is only a 61% chance that your loved one's homicide will be solved in this nation. Any teacher will tell you that's a failing grade.
But today we celebrate Adam's young life and all the good that came as a result of his death. It was his parents' focus and decision that they would make something significant happen from this tragedy which ultimately helped thousands of other families from waiting 27 years for definitive answers.
I applaud them.
Mary M. McCambridge
