My husband asked for the separation and I supported it. We had struggled to keep it going, but obviously we'd both run out of steam.

I desperately loved my husband and I wanted to share everything together, and I thought that we were a very good team.

It's not sissy to show your feeling.

From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.

A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's.

Don't call me an icon. I'm just a mother trying to help.

I love to hold people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.
