Mothers Mourning for their Lost Children

    Supernatural was, at least initially, set up as the story of children mourning for their lost mother.  So it was interesting to me that one thing we got in 4.15 was a mother mourning for her lost child.  While the most explicit parallel set up between that story and the Winchesters probably has to do with Dean's ambivalent romance with death (am I the only one who thought one of the things Tessa wanted him to be honest about was his residual death wish?), it also got me thinking (again!) about what it means that Dean is as much Sam's mother as his brother.
