Theyre sharing their inspiring and unusual way of dealing with their grief. Todd unger has their story. Reporter the household is it fills with photos of ethan, photos that captured his smile each bead representing a treatment or step along the journey that ended one year ago. I really learned from the best kid ever how to face adversity. Reporter but there is one thing you wont find in the hallmark home any longer. Its the very place ethan sat when we interviewed him in 2014 and its the very place where ethan passed away not long after. I struggled with looking at it every single day and it killed me and most people that came into my house didnt know where he died. When they would sit in the spot he died on, it felt like my heart was being ripped out over and over. Reporter so over the weekend, friends and family took that couch to a rural field, packed with seven pounds of teflon and then blew it up. It was a way to honor his memory but also therapeutic to us. Its been an important step in the grief. Reporter there isnt much left of the couch now.

And you dont know when theyre going to happen. And how bad theyre going to be, but you sort of try and cope with it as best you can. Reporter the family also debated moving all together from their midlothian home but with so many neighbors still showing their support, they realized the right thing wasnt to leave but rather to remove a daily reminder of the day theyd rather just forget. Todd unger, channel 8 news. Definitely an unusual way to deal with the death of a child. But you never know. Its not an experience any of us want to go through.

An elected official who went to jail after refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, when the Supreme Court made marriage a right nationwide. Under Whose Authority are you not issuing licenses . Under gods authority. Reporter davis herself married four times. I recently asked her if her right to religious freedom trumps another persons legal right to wed. For me, its a heaven or hell issue. I feel if i issue a license reporter you feel you would go to hell . I would be participating in that act. Reporter but francis has reached out to gays and lesbians more than any other pope. If someone is gay and he searches for the lord and has good will, who am i to judge . He said. Still, davis, who is not catholic, says the pope told her to stay strong. I put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it and i hugged him and he hugged me. And he said, thank you for your courage. On the plane back to rome, abcs terry moran asked the pope whether he supports Government Officials who say they can not follow some laws because of their religious beliefs. Do you support those kinds of claims of religious liberty . Reporter without mentioning davis, the pope defending conscientious objectors, saying, it is a human right. And if a Government Official is a human person, he has that right. From the vatican spokesman this oneline statement. I do not deny that the meeting took place, but i will not comment on it further.
