The tried and tested Publius approach, throw out enough follow up bullsh:t and hiope the original point will be at least adequately blurred to be lost in the mix.
The fact that you are now trying to qualify your original clear statement is proof enough for me that what you originally said was wrong.
In order for the statement
<<Having a member of your family or a friend return in a coffin is traumatic, having them return seriously physically or mentally impaired is equally as bad.>>
