Hi susan. I am deeply sorry for your looses in such tragic ways.

If i may share my story with you. My husband was shot and kill by a complete stranger over an argument for a parking space. This was on April 28, 2011. My life was forever forever changed since I got that knock on my door with homicide detectives. My son was just 19 months old at the time. It took more than 1 year for his killer to be found and arrested. He has been in jail since June 2012. My husband's family and my family attended his preliminary hearing this past november, 2012. We are hopeful we may get a Trial by the end of this year.

I think of that day when I will get to see him front to face everyday. I think if he has or will have remorse for what he caused my family?. I really dont know. Although I want that day to come and say all I have to say but I also feel vulnerable of my reaction to seeing the 1 person who has ruined my life. I too pray God to continue giving strenght until that day comes.

I am keeping a journal of all of my feelings, breakdowns, and accomplishments my son has done and that my husband is missing out of. So, when my impact statement comes, I may go back and say all that I have gone through in all this time.

Please feel free to write to me. Take Care

So sorry for all you have been through.  If people think you are selfish or whatever, tell them you are thankful they have not walked in your shoes because you would not wish that on the worst person in the world, but until they do, dont judge you!!!  How dare people judge others that way!  May you find some peace when this trial is over.  Hugs.
