I know what alot of you are going through. My sister, Trisha Meredith was murdered April 7th 1986 while she was doing laundry in a laundry mat in her apartments. She had just moved into her apartment 2 weeks before this happened. This was her very 1st time moving out. She was only 19. She was stabbed 24 times and had her throat slashed. We had her showing on my 12th birthday April 9th. This affected my mother so bad that she died the next year of a heart attack in my arms because i didnt know what to, I was only 13. She was only 40. This has wrecked my life to this day. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Holidays never have the same meaning. Often times I feel alone and depressed. Like there's no 1 that feel my pain. I see now that there is. Thank you for your time and God Bless You All.

Dear msnmessy, Once again I say I am so sorry you have reason to be here, but welcome to our place here. I am so sorry your sister was taken from you, and for your loss of your mother too. So much for a young teenage boy to have to learn to walk around in, much more than you ever should have had to. No one should have to be 19 years old forever, and yes we will miss them every day. But these Holidaze that are coming do seem to make it even harder. I hope you can find some comfort here. Or that we can help you in the coping in some way.

I see now that there is. Thank you for your time and God Bless You All. Dear msnmessy, I'm very sorry about your sister Trisha. I'm glad you found this board and hope you find some comfort here. You're 100% right in that the holidays are NEVER the same after you become an MVS. Please know that you're NOT alone as you've found this board! This board has been a lifesaver for me as when I used to go to Parents of Murdered Children meetings NO ONE there had a case like my familys'. My familys' case is what's called inter-family in that my 2 family members were murdered by another family member. I stil find it upsetting that with at least 30% of murder cases in the US being inter-family, there wasn't 1 MVS at the meeting with that type of case. HOWEVER, on the positive side, that meeting got me started in activism and working harder on my own recovery. I found this board through a group similar to POMC and for the 1st time "met" OTHER inter-family MVS! ;D This has been a huge help to me and others as we ALL HELP EACH OTHER HEAL ON HERE! Again, I'm very glad you found this board and know that we're here for you. I hope that 1 day justice is done in your case also. Take care.
