Monday, January 28, 2002 11:24 PM compensation comments: Rowayton, CT my name is and my husband was killed on september the 11th. He worked for in tower one on the floor. I am writng to say that I am tired of fighting for everything. For funds from the various sources of donated relief and all the time consuming energy it has taken since day one.We are being called greedy because we want to be able to stay where we live ,where our support system is and survive while taking care of our children and dealing with the grief that this tragedy has brought. I am tired of seeing the visual reminders on a day to day basis of how my husband was murdered. We are reminded on a daily basis by what we lost, from pictures in the media and papers and what we are surrounded by in our own homes. There is no time or space for us to grieve for we are constantly filling out forms, talking to lawyers, and dealing with government issues that we would never have had to deal with if this had not happpened and for which we are inexperienced at. But since it did happen and that is our reality we have had to research and learn more than I could ever have imagined in such a short period of time while still having to deal with the what is left of our lives. There is no "unprecedented expression of compassion", just more beurocratic misinformation . My husbands life and all he worked for has come down to what the government deems he is worth according to a monetary formula that leaves no room for us to be treated fairly by our own country. I lost my husband, an unborn child, my financial stability all within a one month period. It is shameful ! I would give every dime to all of those who say we are greedy and to the political entities dealing with this that i would give all of you every dime i would get if I could touch him just one more time even if it was for a second. I say for even one day walk in my shoes and see how fast you would be running back to your own lives!
