“There is a story about the life of Buddha in which a mother carries her dead son to him draped in her arms. The woman has heard that he is a holy man who can restore life. Weeping, she appeals for mercy. Gently, Buddha tells her that he can help save her son’s life, but that first she has to bring him a mustard seed secured from a family that has never experienced death. Desperately she searches home after home. Many want to help, but everyone has already experienced a loss--a sister, a husband, a child. Finally the woman returns to Buddha. “What have you found?â€� he asks. “Where is your mustard seed and where is your son? You are not carrying him.â€�
“I buried him,â€� she replies”

“The cost of war is a lifelong legacy borne by children.”
Chanrithy Him, When Broken Glass Floats: Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge

“A woman isn’t just married to her husband, but to his whole family”
