My mom was stabbed to death on August 5th.

My mom, Barbara, was brutally robbed, beaten, disfigured, and stabbed 19 times.  I am still grieving the loss of my dad, as well.  We lost him to cancer on Oct. 22nd. Losing him was devastating already and now I have to try to cope with my mom's murder, as well.  It is overwhelming and has made me physically ill.  The murderer made a full confession and has been charged with first degree murder.  I meet with the DA tomorrow morning.  I am very nervous about it.  I tried grief counseling but even the professional counselor did not know what to say to me.  I am hurting so bad and just can't seem to get out of this same horrible day.

I am terribly sorry for both of your losses. I would think you have post traumatic stress syndrome. I was told to keep talking about it to others who are supportive, feel the feelings and cry. I have heard everyone grieves in there own way and there is no time limit on it. That's about all I know. I wish I could be more helpful.

I am so sorry for the loss of both your mother and your father. No one should have to go through this type of pain. I lost my friend Tyler back in August 2009, and that has been hard enough to deal with. Then, last December, his mother Tina, who was also my mother's best friend and like my second mother, was murdered. Again, I am very sorry you have to go through this. I hope things start to get better for you. God bless.

Thank you and I am sorry for your losses as well.  Nothing in my life has compared to my mom's murder.  There are still times that I am not convinced that this is really happening.  It is truly, truly, the worst possible situation to live through.

It really is, Kandi. And I think it is absolutely terrible that your grief counselor doesn't even know what to say to you. That's what they are there for. I feel like nobody understands, and like I can't talk to anybody about my grief.

Nobody should have to go through this.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
