Why is Cindy's Marriage Status News?

The title of Cindy's diary "Leave my Family Alone" says it all when it comes to the "big" news that Sheehan's husband filed for divorce. I really tried to find definitive statistics on parents who divorce after the death of a child, and unfortunately, the stats are simply not available. The best I could come up was the divorce rate for parents who have lost a child is between 9% (Oct 1999 study) and 12% (June 1999 study). In Cindy's own words: "We were high school sweethearts and the stress of Casey's death lead to us getting a separation." I can only say this, if 50% of all marriages in the US already end in divorce, try adding the unimaginable stress of losing a child on top of that, and then tell me if the Sheehans' troubled marriage is freakish. I dare that bloated drug addict Rush to say 1 word about this, b/c that fat fuck has been married AND divorced 3 times. What excuse does he use to explain his thrice failed marriages? His addiction to drugs, perhaps?
