Coping After the Pentagon Attack Relatives Find Strength
Three families affected by the September 11 Pentagon crash cope with loss in different ways. H.G. Whittington, a Houston psychiatrist, sues airlines and security firms seeking accountability while supporting changes to prevent future attacks. Peggy Neff, who lost her partner Sheila Hein, focuses on life with cats, children, and a new normal, avoiding the lawsuit. Stephen Push, widowed husband and former corporate communications director, volunteers with Families of September 11 as he moves forward, balancing memories with daily life.
