I know how you feel. My brother was only 17 when he was shot twice for no reason. Everyday it is painful. I just try to have faith that one day evil people will be punished, good people will be rewarded and our pain will go away. I jsut hope there is a bigger picture to all of this, I just cant see it. Use this as an opportunity to do good. John Walsh has a son who was murdered. Then he started to host Americas Most Wanted and now so many criminals have been captured and put away because of that show. Its hard when it takes something tragic to start something good, but remember your daughter and cherish her memory. Do something to strengthen her legacy. I will try to do the same for my brother.

Mandy, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you are going through right now, or every day for that matter :( I was reading your post and was thinking to myself as to why would you not want to talk to your husband, or any one for that matter. They know your hurting, no one can understand your greif except some one who has also lost a child. But atleast talking about it can let you release those current emotions that your feeling at that moment. I have only exprienced the loss of my father in june of 2011(which is no comparrision to your loss) , but I know just  talking to my husband (has never lost a parent) atleast lets me rid those emotions at the time and cry if I need to. Cry, let it out, talk to whom ever is around, they want to hear about your daughter, sad or not it is good for everyone to talk, cry and remember her life. By the way I also live in Oregon, that is what caught my eye in the first place and then I read your entry and just wanted to possibly leave some words of hope here for you ;)
