*cringe* My wife and our eight children were all murdered. I feel for you. It's been almost a year and it still feels like I'm completely broken inside. This is one wound that time does not heal at all, in any way, shape, or form...
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry.

Hi there! My mom was murdered or as the police say ( but didn't really investigate) suicide in 1976. My father was killed by a drunk driver in 1963.
I am in recovery after all of these years finally letting go of these things. I guess you can see with me what happens if you don't let it go.
I realized that I was holding it feeling that I would forget about my mother and father, knowing now that I will never forget about them but for my own life I have to forgive to live. God is taking it. But I find myself taking it back again, it is a process.
I have gone back to school taking classes to become a counselor for people suffering from drug/alcohol addiction I know God is leading me, but not sure where.
I do now feel in order to heal we need to help others. As we know on this thread it is really hard to understand unless it has happened to you.
My heart really goes out to each of you. Especially those of you where it has not been very long. It is a different kind of pain then when a loved one dies from illness or old age ( although this is hard too) It is a lose where we go on questioning over and over if there was something we could have done to have prevented it.
I just don't understand how someone can take another life, especially a little child.
As I have read on here and I agree it has helped once the person who has killed has passed and is in Gods Hands letting Him be the judge.
It is nice to meet you and looking forward to our discussion.
God Bless.
It will have been 38 years in a month or so. I was just thinking of all this tonight, and keeping you all in my thoughts.
