The Mary Mac Show | Trial By Fire

Since a large listening audience of The Mary Mac Show is from India, this story is one I want you to know about.

This week I learned about the horrific tragedy of the Krishnamoorthy family who endured the deaths of their 17 year-old daughter and 13 year-old son in a cinema fire in Delhi, India on June 13, 1997.

On that day, their children innocently went to catch a movie but they never returned home.

A raging fire broke out in the theatre and took the lives of 59 individuals and injured an additional 103.

And after 25 years, there has been no justice served on the two men, the Ansals who are real estate magnets there, and carry a great amount of weight in the community.

The reason this hits home for me is because not only did these parents, Neelam and her husband, Shekhar work tirelessly to find answers, gather the other families who also had family members die in the theatre, and push for justice, is because our family went through a similar fate.

Angela was 11 years old when she was murdered and it took us on an 18 year journey to solve her murder, and another two years to go to trial and convict him.

Along the way Shekhar wrote the story of their struggles and Penguin books published it.

Last week, Netflix released a 7 episode series on their long and painful journey as bereaved parents and what they did to find justice.

I welcome all my listeners to The Mary Mac Show and readers of my blog, to watch this series on Netflix and support it by giving it a thumbs-up as well as let others know of its existence.

It is deep, impactful and sad.

I can feel their feelings and found myself crying along the way.

We lived this in our own unique way.

One quarter century to seek justice for their two children.

Listen in to Episode 164 – my way of honoring this family and remembering those who died that day.

Bless them.

The Mary Mac Show | When You Couldn’t Say Goodbye

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

This week, on my podcast, we discuss what we go through when we couldn’t say goodbye to someone we loved.

Whether it’s Covid and we weren’t allowed in a hospital or healthcare setting, or earthquakes, avalanches, tornadoes, floods, fires, hurricanes, tsunami, cyclones, explosions, car or plane crashes, all these prevent us to say goodbye if we were not present at these scenes.

There were also sudden death like heart attacks, strokes, homicide, suicide, even terrorism.

And we must remember all the military deaths, especially their bodies were so mutilated or affected by an explosion and there were only small parts or nothing to bury. Many of our men and women, who sacrificed their life for your freedom, never came home at all.

Join me in listening in to Episode 39 to take a look at how to deal with our grief when we couldn’t be with them when they died.
