My best friend's son was murdered a little over a month ago. He was like a son to me. One of his friends ran to my friends home(I was there with my 2 girls)yelling that he had been stabbed. We ran out and found him in a snow bank. He was still alive. There was no one with him. I tried to stop the blood by putting pressure on it. He died later in the hospital. He had been stabbed four times in the heart. Now I am lost.I am a single mom raising 3 girls and trying to cope. I have just started councialing. I had no idea how much that would hurt me physically. It is going to be so hard to go back.

That's wonderful you've started counseling! It literally saved me life after the murders in my family. You may want to see if there's a Parents of Murdered Children meeting near you. There's a link to them on here. They helped me greatly with support, knowledge, etc., when I was a fairly new MVS. You have a lot to cope with raising 3 girls on your own and dealing with your tragedy. Counseling is a great way to help you through. Again, welcome to the board. Take care.

Dear Monique, Only a month ago, this is so soon for you. I was still in what I called my fog so soon after. And yes, it does physically hurt - bearing up under such tension after this trauma you never should have had to know. I am so sorry for your loss of this precious child in your life, and for your friend and your children and all of you who are now living with this. I agree with everything Pumpkin said. Counseling helped me too, and it is a brave and smart first step to begin there. There are so many utterly overwhelming feelings to learn to deal with. Nothing on this earth could have prepared us for this. I don't know what I would have done without those wonderful listeners through the years, in counseling and at support groups like POMC. They were a Godsend. Knowing that others had made it through this helped give me courage. Helping each other figure out how to get through the day to day challenges, to be able to talk about it with people who really understood all it really does mean. I am so sorry you have reason to be here, but it is good that you are reaching out. Praying for some bit of comfort for all of you, and hoping we can help you as you learn to find your way, Janet
