Joe Biden’s 2012 advice to grieving families
Joe Biden was Widowed Young
News this week US Vice President Joe Biden will visit to Ireland brings to mind a speech he gave back in 2012.
In 1972, twenty nine year old Biden was elected to the US Senate. One week after the election he lost both his wife and daughter in a traffic accident that also injured both his sons.
Understandably, he almost resigned his seat. Despite his grief, he took the oath of office at the hospital bedside of his injured son Beau.
