MADD Fpunder Candy Lightner On Death and Grieving

from Now I've Heard Everything Hosted by Bill Thompson

In her anger and grief after the death of her 13-year-old daughter in 1980, Candy Lightner formed a group which she dubbed Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And it quickly grew into a powerful grassroots campaign to force states to stiffen the penalties for drunk or impaired driving. She later wrote a book about grief and death, called Giving Sorrow Words. In this 1990 interview Lightner offers compassion and insight into the grieving process.
