Sylvia Guerrero: A mission from beyond

LANSING - Sylvia Guerrero clutches her styrofoam coffee cup and stares out with blue grey eyes and a steely determination forged during the emotional wreckage that happened six years ago. Guerrero was in Lansing at the invitation of the Michigan State University Resident Hall Association and several LBGT student groups in advance of the Transgender Day of Remembrance on Nov. 21. She is a former law office employee who now spends her life devoted to telling her daughter's story. Her dead daughter's story. Her murdered transgender teenage daughter's story.

I am glad that people still care about Gwen Araujo, care enough to ask her mother to speak to them.  But I worry a bit about the stress such speeches (she gives them full time) place upon Gwen's mother.  I worry that reliving the pain, over and over, doesn't give her a chance to heal.
