Q Can I wash my gardening gloves?  — Ruth R.

A. Yes! Many types, like ones made of 100% cotton or coated with rubbery
nitrile for durability, can be machine-washed. Let any mud on them dry, then
brush off the loose dirt before cleaning. I recommend a spritz of prewash spray
to help remove set-in stains. Leather gardening gloves should be hand-washed
in cold water and mild detergent — just put them on and wash your hands in the
suds, then rinse and blot well. It’s best to reshape and air-dry gloves so they
won’t shrink or get damaged.

DESTROYED
MY FAMILY
What would you do if a drunk driver killed your husband
and daughter? How one remarkable mother transformed
a tragedy into a life full of meaning and purpose
by JONATHAN SMALL

“ONE MORE HUG, MOM, ONE MORE KISS,” said 9-year-old
Brittany Burnett to her mother, Jennifer. Dad Brian had just
strapped their girls — identical twins Brittany and McKayla as
well as Amber, 5 — into the family’s sedan for a trip to buy school
supplies. Jennifer had a lot to do at home and had decided at
the last minute to stay behind. She kissed Brittany, an angelic
child who, despite struggling with cerebral palsy, was always
smiling. Then she shut the door and waved goodbye.
The car headed south in Brighton, CO, passing farms and
horses. A few miles away, Vladimir Gunin, a 57-year-old Russian
émigré, was driving west. He had barely eaten or slept in over
a day, but had been drinking heavily. As he drove, he slowed
but did not stop at an intersection — and, too late, he saw the
Burnetts’ car. The air filled with the horrible sounds of screech-
ing tires, metal on metal and a shower of shattered glass.
The impact flipped the family’s car onto a fence, while
Gunin’s pickup truck careened into a ditch. By the time ambu-
lances arrived, Brian and Brittany were dead and the two other
girls gravely injured. Gunin stumbled out of his car to ask
police how the others were, then cried out to God and passed
out in the road. At a later hearing, it was revealed that he had
a blood alcohol level of .209. The legal limit in Colorado is .08.
It was August 11, 2004 — before smartphones were widely
used — and it took police several hours to track down Jennifer.
“I fell to the floor,” she says. “I was hysterical for a long time.”
At the hospital, Jennifer’s new reality began to sink in.

Amber was unconscious with broken ribs and a
torn spleen, hooked up to machines. Across the
hall, one of the twins lay in an induced coma. Her
face was swollen beyond recognition, but Jennifer
knew it was McKayla. Brittany was gone.
She began praying, periodically running to the
bathroom to vomit. Both girls were unconscious
for days, and Jennifer desperately wanted to be
able to reassure them that she was there. She was
granted this small wish. “I’d taught the kids a little
sign language, so I signed ‘I love you’ in McKayla’s

I decided not to go, Brittany asked me for a hug
and a kiss. What if we’d just all left that day?” she
says, her voice trailing off.
The tragedy could easily have left Jennifer
broken. But that’s not the story she ultimately
wrote for herself. Instead of hating the man who
destroyed her family, she became the leading
advocate for his recovery and release.
H U RT A N D H E A L I N G
After the crash, Jennifer suffered from flash-
backs, didn’t shower for weeks and gained nearly
50 pounds. “I was in a dark place,” she says.
“I wanted the world to see what I felt on the
inside.” She left her job as a hairstylist and
cleaned apartments to make ends meet. She had
a history of depression and suicidal thoughts
and could sense those feelings flooding back.
When the girls came home from the hospital,
Jennifer vowed to create as normal a life as pos-

sible, getting them back to school and into ther-
apy. She packed away most of the photographs of
Brian and Brittany. “Seeing them was too much of
a reminder of what I lost,” she says. She needed to
focus on what she still had: “Two girls who desper-
ately needed me.”
She was in the courtroom when Gunin pleaded
guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide and
vehicular assault and was sentenced to 24 years
in prison. “Mr. Gunin asked if he could turn and
face me, and he said, ‘I’m sorry, and if I could give
my life right now, I would do it.’ He was crying and
very upset,” says Jennifer. Shocking even herself,
she stood up and forgave him: “I said I thought he
should get the maximum sentence, but also that
he should be given every chance at rehabilitation.”
But she felt no closure. “I was angry at God,”
says Jennifer. A self-described “prayer warrior,”
she recalled having said a prayer for her family

before they drove off (“Father, keep them safe”).
Now she stopped both going to church and pray-
ing. “I thought, Why pray when the answer is so
horrific?” she says. “I really started battling God.”
Jennifer’s turnaround began eight months after
the tragedy, when she was diagnosed with post-
traumatic stress disorder. “I went to therapy every
week for four years,” she says. She meditated to
music and did eye movement desensitization
and reprocessing to help neutralize the triggering
memories of the trauma. It was a slow process, but
worth it — she opened her own hair salon in 2006,
took the photos of Brian and Brittany out of their
boxes and began to see the importance of forgiv-
ing herself.
Jennifer’s trials were far from over, though. In
2012, she was in her salon when her fingers went
numb and she dropped her scissors. Next, “my
arms and legs became so weak that I couldn’t
move them,” she says. Her speech slurred as if she
were having a stroke. At the hospital, she learned

that the cause was a condition she had called
Chiari malformation type 1, in which her brain
grew out of her skull and onto her spinal cord. Jen-
nifer was scared and furious. “I was like, Really?
When is enough enough?”
Surgeons removed part of her brain and placed
a titanium plate in her skull to hold the remainder
in place. “I call myself a metalhead now,” she jokes.
But it was no laughing matter at the time: “I was
in a wheelchair and had to relearn how to walk.”
All her anger and sadness returned, but by
now she had developed a system to cope with
it. “I thought, I don’t get it, I don’t like it —  about what happened.
but I’m going to do something positive with this.
I have to.”
FINDING POWER IN PA IN
A few years earlier, Jennifer had been the
keynote speaker at a Mothers Against Drunk
Driving (MADD) event. “I saw how my story
touched people who had lost loved ones
to drunk driving,” she says. After her surgery,
she decided to become a professional speaker,
transforming her story into step-by-step ways
to forgive others as well as cope with loss
and depression.
But despite her success, there was still one
unresolved chapter of her story: the fate of the
man who had killed her husband and daughter.
“I wanted to know that Brian and Brittany did not
die in vain,” she says. At Gunin’s first parole hear-
ing in 2014, she learned he’d been on a waiting list
to get therapy for five years. “I was infuriated,” she
says. “So I raised a stink, and lo and behold, guess
who got therapy?”
At the next parole hearing, she found out that
Gunin had joined an Alcoholics Anonymous pro-
gram but, because his English was poor, had been
bullied mercilessly by other inmates and quit.
Jennifer urged the Colorado Department of Cor-
rections to find a program for him.
At his parole hearing in 2017, Gunin slouched
in his chair and squinted uncomfortably at a web-
cam. He was appearing via videoconference from
prison, while Jennifer sat in an office in Denver
with Rebecca Oakes, the vice chairperson of the
Board of Parole. As Oakes asked Gunin questions,
his mumbled answers came through a translator.
Seeming confused and defeated, he stared at his

feet, barely able to look at the camera — perhaps
because he knew Jennifer was watching him. See-
ing him in his prison uniform, Jennifer felt more
pity than anger. Oakes asked if he felt the sen-
tence was commensurate with the crime. “Consid-
ering two people died,
I think it’s appropri-
ate,” he replied. Then
he looked up, hand on
his chest, and said in
English, “I’m very, very

Jennifer found his

bring them back. But if I can play a part in reducing McKayla (left) and
Amber. "My fight
the recidivism rate, it helps the community I live in; was to save us,"
there is a greater purpose to this tragedy.” she says.
Last November, with Jennifer’s blessing, Gunin
was paroled, and an assessment by the state deter-
mined he did not need drug or alcohol treatment.
His right to drive was restored. "What he does
now is up to him," says Jennifer. “I would like to
have a heartfelt conversation with him. I want to
know that he will live his life in a way that honors
their lives. I want to know that he can forgive him-
self.” (Our attempts to reach Gunin for comment
were unsuccessful.)
Jennifer thinks about Brittany and Brian every
day. Although she knows she can never give
Brittany one more hug and kiss, her lost daughter
still speaks to her in unexpected ways. Every year on
August 11, Jennifer goes to the crash site to release
balloons with messages like I miss you scribbled
on them. Last summer, as the balloons were being
filled in a store, she noticed a card that read, “Add
laugh to the top of your to-do list.” All of a sudden,
“I felt this presence,” she recalls, “like she was
saying, ‘Mommy, laugh. Live. It’s all good here.
I’m good, Mom. Laugh.’ ” So she did.

FROM ANYTHING
Being able to rebound from adversity — whether it’s
a minor mishap or life giving you a serious smack
in the face — is key to your health and well-being. Here’s
what research tells us about how to build up resilience
by ELAINE CHIN, M.D., AND WILLIAM HOWATT, PH.D.

SO WHAT IS RESILIENCE, ANYWAY?

Simply put, it’s the ability to scrape yourself of the
floor relatively quickly after a giant trauma, medium-size
setback or everyday disappointment. Why is it that
one woman can start a foundation to fund canine cancer
research weeks after burying her beloved pup while
another spends years stuck on the fact that she was
passed over for a promotion?
If you look at the people in your personal life or
workplace, it may seem as if some simply are more
resilient. But resilience is not a genetic trait, and it is also
not something we are necessarily taught by our parents,
though the adult support we have during rough childhood
events appears to influence how we recover from
negative experiences later.
Rather, resilience is a set of coping mechanisms we
develop over time, and research in the field of positive
psychology has found that this quality is determined
in part by how we take care of ourselves, the people we
surround ourselves with and what we do to find meaning
and purpose in our lives.
In fact, we have a lot of control over how resilient
we are — roughly 40% of our overall happiness is thought
to derive not from our circumstances or genes, but from
our own actions, and resilience is part of that.
Of course, it’s one thing to bounce back when your
dishwasher is broken and another to find happiness
after your heart has been shattered. But the techniques
involved are the same. Turn the page to learn how to
be your strongest self and set yourself up for success,
no matter what you’re dealing with.

Talk
yourself
resilient
Reframing negative self-talk
(catastrophizing, self-blame, blaming
others and defeatist thinking)
is one technique that can help you
set yourself on a positive path.

“I’m late! I know my new boss

will think I’m unreliable.”
NEW THINK “I could not have foreseen
my car not starting. Ofering to dial in for the
meeting will show her I’m not a flake.”

“My basement is flooded. I don’t

know why I bother saving money.”
NEW THINK “I saved money so
I wouldn’t go into debt in an emergency.
That was very smart of me!”

“I brought this breakup on myself —

I always pick loser jerks.”
NEW THINK “Blaming myself or my ex won’t
make me feel better. What were some
red flags that I’ll be on alert for next time?”

HABITS THAT MAKE YOU BEND, NOT BREAK

Having a handle on the physiological efects of stress prepares your body and mind to respond with resilience.

GET YOUR ZZZ TIME
During deep sleep, your
brain sorts and files your
thoughts and experiences
from the day just past,
giving you a fresh perspec-
tive that enables you to
problem-solve. Sleep also
bolsters immunity, and
it’s easier to pull yourself
together emotionally when
you’re not run-down or
sick in bed. Aim for seven to
eight hours of sleep a night.
MOVE YOUR BODY
Getting your 30 minutes
triggers feel-good endor-
phins as well as GABA, a
neurotransmitter that quiets
negative thinking. Together,
these can help you through
a tough time. Research
has also shown that regular
exercise is a mood elevator
and can assist significantly
in the treatment of
depression, helping you
maintain a positive outlook.
BREATHE DEEPLY
Meditation can be as simple
as focusing on a single
thing, like your breath or
a calming word. Research
suggests that practicing
it regularly may shrink the
amygdala, reducing stress
and anxiety, and even
change electrical activity in
the brain, making you more
alert and calm. That’s just
the kind of clearheadedness
you need in a crisis.
EAT ENOUGH
Your body, like any other
engine, needs fuel. When
food is scarce, your system
routes what energy it
has to essentials, which can
leave parts of your brain,
well, hungry: It needs at least
20% of the calories you
take in to solve problems
efectively. So get your
three squares or five
mini meals — whatever
keeps you on an even keel.

Because it’s hard to think clearly

Steps like these — written for
someone who has just lost her

1 IMMEDIATELY AFTER you’re

laid of, jot down what you’re
feeling — blindsided, angry, scared,
relieved, whatever. Researchers
have found that writing about a
traumatic event, rather than replay-
ing it in your mind, can help you
make sense of it. Then take a few

Pawsome Pairings
Meet the organization on a mission
to unite sheltered dogs and cats
with American heroes 
It’s no secret that shelters are
overflowing with unwanted pets —
or that members of the military
and veterans are often in need of
emotional support. In 2009, New
Yorker Beth Zimmerman had an
aha moment: She suddenly realized
that these two groups could help
save each other. She turned her
insight into action by founding Pets
for Patriots, a nonprofit that brings
together animals that need loving
homes with veterans.
HOMEWARD BOUND
Since its inception, Pets for Patriots
has helped facilitate more than 1,700
adoptions, working with a network
of animal welfare organizations and
veterinarians across the U.S. “I have
enormous respect for the men and
women who serve and have served
in the military,” Beth says. “If Pets
for Patriots can give back in some
small way by providing veterans
with the comfort of a companion pet,
then it’s a true honor.”
#GHSEALOFCUTE
UNBREAKABLE BOND
Now going into its ninth year, the
program is open to all current and
former service members. They focus
on placing the most overlooked
dogs and cats, including adult and

dogs. To help the transition be suc-
cessful for all, Pets for Patriots also
provides the veterans with benefits
like veterinary discounts and a gift
card to a major pet retailer.
Seeing the heartwarming con-
nections that are made is the
most rewarding part of Beth’s job.

how their pets have saved their lives
