She has compassion that AJG's mother also 'lost' her son that day, likely forever. Maddy's mother sees that both she and the other mother have terrible losses. Again, how many people could ever see it that way? I think very few.
Actually I have seen that kind of compassion and in a case local to my area. Husband murdered his estranged wife. Strangled her and left her mostly nude body lying in a drainage ditch about 3 miles away from their house. Two little girls lost their mommy that day. The parents of the murdered woman saw all the sides of the tragedy, including that their son-in-law ruined his own life in addition. They reached out to the killer's parents so that they could continue to form a grandparent relationship with the 2 little girls after the killer was convicted. I thought that was pretty amazing. Don't know too many people who would ever espouse such compassion.
