No one will ever, ever, ever know what this feels like. And, thank God they don't. Thing is....they don't know and judge, etc. about how anyone lives their life after a loved one has been murdered. I've stopped seeing (some) friends....I've had words with people....I am not the same person I was. I think Im having a hard time with that maybe more than others, but I can say that no one in my family including my husband... will ever be the same. Well, because my old man loves me. He put up with a lot of *deleted* from me....He's a good man. Anyway...my point? People. Can they all just eff off if they havent' been there??

That is one reason I was so grateful to find this place, where we are glad for each other if we can find a way to feel at least a bit better. Nothing could have ever prepared us for this, and those who haven't walked it will never really know, I agree. For me also, there are some people I left behind (and some who left me). But I've made some of the best new friends of my life on the way too.

God bless 'em if they haven't had to deal with the murder of a loved one. You're right; they don't know. I am learning that the ones who do not 'get it' are not necessarily being mean but are just ignorant of our feelings having never been in our shoes; to us, angering, frustrating, maddening. I found that when I was dealing with the aftermath of the senseless murder of my niece, I drank to dull the pain, I took chances I would never have otherwise taken and even drove a car when I knew I was in no shape to operate a 2000 pound potential weapon. I know that through it all, somebody was watching over me and I think it was my niece.
The ones who are meant to walk with you will always be there. Take heart!
