How truly terrible.... I am so sorry that this horrific violence has been visited on you and your family... I don't know quite what to 'say'.... It's just plain awful... Huge hug for you and a blessing...xo

I'm so sorry you went through this :( I understand my DH was murdered August 23, 2015. They charged the shooter (who was 16 at the time) but he only got 4 years!! I'm still very much angry about that sentence and I'm never going to stop making sure he doesn't forget what he put my family through.

If you can find a grief therapy support group in your area you may want to look into it. The funeral home where my husband was offers grief therapy so maybe try going to the funeral home to see if they offer it. I know you feel alone but just remember you do have your husband and two boys. I know if I didn't have our baby I'd really be losing my mind. I hope they will find the killer(s) and throw the book at them. Sending big hugs

Thank you guys so much! I wish I was with my mom and siblings but I know that's not possible.

I am so very sorry that this happened to your family. I am angry for you, I hope they find the responsible people and that they get the justice they deserve.

Very gentle hugs

Hi, kmm... I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Those things that come straight out of the blue, not to mention such violent ones, really throw people for a loop. There are several severely stressful things to deal with at once. And any one of them can be and are, overwhelming. I have been here at DS for a long time and I can assure you, that you have come to a very good place to get support. Here there is a "bereavement" group here that I have found to be very helpful because we are all going through some kind of grief or another and understand well what you are going through. Also for people-to-people, real live support like being in a support group in your area, I would recommend contacting the hospital closest to you or some other one you can get to. They are likely to either have, or know of, a support group for grieving people. One thing I really like about DS as well is, that there's always the possibility of someone being online at inopportune times because it is open to and becoming known by people all around the world. My personal condolences and special DS hugs to you.

I am so sorry to read about your loss and in such terrible circumstances. My dad was "murdered" by the death/"palliative" panel in the local hospital and I can't forget any of the images surrounding this incident. I found that seeing a psychotherapist really helped me with things I could not discuss with mom nor my greedy family. I had telephone sessions and I cried, and used foul language, and expressed my feelings of wanting to take revenge, and she led me to a point where I could get up in the morning and not want to kill someone or myself. I'm still grieving and always will, but in a different way now because of caregiving for my mom. Please take good care of yourself and share here as much as you want. I think I'm having panic attacks now that mom is ill, with heart palpitations and not sleeping, so I'll call my psychotherapist again. They can take an objective view and have experience counselling and listening to all kinds of issues.

Wishing you strength and comfort in this sad time.
