We can only hope that someone called her on that. Since the passing of my husband, I have become more and more pro-active about speaking my mind and would probably have emailed the TV station! Totally uncalled for and insensitive!

Do we still miss them? Would we miss air?

I can't believe she didn't take a moment to consider what she was asking. What an idiotic question, and especially so while speaking with a child who lost a parent.

One of my hubby's favorite sayings about "stupid" was, 'I give you books and give you books, and all you do is eat the pages'!

Will we ever learn? TJ

Maybe she knows how important it is to have the opportunity to say "Yes, I still miss him and always will." Maybe she was trying to make the point that these people are still missed?

You could always e-mail her and tell her what you thought of how she handled it.

She knew the answer would be "Yes, I still miss him". The media plays on the human interest, the heartbreak, the tears, the anger any human emotion that will stir the emotions of the viewers. It is just how it is...

The Media ! Why don't they do a special on GRIEF and how hard it is to go on and cope and deal with the people that don't get it ! I will
miss my husband everyday for the rest of my life, I will never get
over it, I will always have a sadness in my heart, I will never be the
same person

Let me guess, was it Katie Couric? Imbecile. I encourage you to email the station and let them know how insensitive that question is. I did not catch it or I would.

Do I still miss my husband? Not a second goes by that I don't think of him, long for him and wish he was by my side. I don't suspect that this will ever change.

I saw Katie Couric interview the navy men who survived the USS Cole attack. I have had no respect for her since.

Thrusting a mic in the face of a sailor who had broked down into tears and she was still yammering away and asking idiotic questions "Can you tell me what you are feeling...right now"

Carla is right. The media spouts verbal diarrhea like this all the time! I have always marveled at how they can ask someone 'how do you feel' after a castrophic event. They also ask this ridiculous question after positive events, such as asking an Olympic medalist or a lottery winner.

Is it really Katie Couric you're talking about? I'm so surprised she would behave this way after losing her own husband.

One of my biggest memories of watching the news about 9/11 was when the head of the Fire Department was announcing to the news media the number of firemen who had been killed - he could barely even speak and looked like he was on the verge of collapse. He then asked if there were any questions and I think it was the first question that was "how are you feeling right now?" The fireman was incredulous and said "how am I feeling??" at which point several other firemen came and put their arms around him and someone yelled at the guy for asking such a stupid question.

Katie Couric has been living with another man for a long time, so maybe she no longer misses her husband. I try not to read the minds of the celebrities, because it gives me a headache.

i will always always miss him...forever

I hear that type of questioning all the time by the media, so it didn't surprise me. I think like someone else said, it gives the person a chance to express their feelings. I always think when I hear that type of question, why can't they word it differently? I actually had mixed feelings about some of the coverage of the event. Clips of the cheering can be used to really stir things up and place our country and servicemen and women in greater danger.

I agree. Maggie's remark was correct. Gives me a headache too.

My husband died July 18,2010.Do I miss him?Everyday.Anyhow...What kind of question is that to ask a child?Maybe someone should have her sit and watch the broadcast to point out excactly where she was a butt.Especially with someone so young.

As far as Katie Couric living with another man for a long time....I don't think that should make a difference. I am in a long term live-in relationship since my husband was killed in 2004.. yet, I still miss my husband every day. It doesn't go away - even it seems you have moved on. I hate the question "do you still miss him?" as much as I hate "are you happy?" Ridiculous to ask anyone who has lost someone so close to them.
