Her Trauma-Through My Eyes.

[pandora]

Fire.....I think that any woman to find a genuine, caring, compassionate and loving soul as you are would be very lucky! I guess there are a few around, you kind of give me hope. I am sure the horrific story you just shared made a few woman feel that way as many of us have been that terrible young girl in those circumstances. I know alot of us here did not have that caring and support right after an assault or were too afraid to tell, leaving us with chronic PTSD. I am sure you were born to be a helper and I bet you made a HUGE difference in that childs life and in her healing process. I can imagine your compassion to her changed her life in a good way and enabled her to heal with less shame. Give youself a huge pat on the back for not only helping this young girl as well as many others, I am sure!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words.
I have to admit this one was a hard one for me to write.
It is a terriable thing and I know alot of people here can feel that pain.
It's been a hard weekend here for me not just because this thread but a little
girl was kidnapped raped and murdered and left by the waters edge not more then 30
or 40 minutes away from where my family and I live.
It's been all over the news and it hit me hard.
Losing a little one is the worst for me to deal with so I'm sorry I haven't been around
much this weekend I'm trying to regroup.
Thanks again.

Ken.

No need to apologize...you have to take care of you first and take breaks as needed. That is another awful story about that little girl..there are some very mentally ill, sick people in this world.
Take good care of yourself....

Hi ken,

Losing a child is ones worst nightmares........losing a child through horrific acts, as such you described, is not only a worst nightmare but a living hell for their loved ones !

Poor innocent souls never had a chance........and the ones doing the unthinkable...they are able to see another day ! Crazy world !!!

Ken, thank-you for caring and feeling so much and for being YOU !

Please take care of yourself and be safe :Hug_emoticon:

Fire,

This whole thread hit me hard, which is why I haven't replied before now. I am sorry for all the horrible things you see so often.

Stories like the one you last described are why I no longer watch the news. I rarely know any of what is going on in the world around me. I am just unable to cope with all the horrible things that happen because of other evil people.

For you, especially in your line of work, I know you cannot avoid it. I know how deeply you feel, and I am sorry for the pain you're feeling now.

It is disgusting what happened to that little girl, and I can't even imagine how this will affect the lives of all that knew her. It's bad enough how the rest of us feel when we hear of it, I can't even imagine being her mother, Aunt, ect.

Take care of yourself. Try not to get too wrapped up in it, I know it is hard, but it is necessary to find a way to cope with it.

I hope you can find some peace in the coming days. :Hug_emoticon:

Oh Fire -

You just can't catch a break - I honestly don't know how people in your line of work do it. I am so grateful that you do - but I can't imagine how anyone would be able to leave that at work and go home like they had a normal day at the office.

My thoughts and prayers go out to this girls family for their horrific loss and for you and all of your crew for having another tragedy on your doorstep.

Continue to write - I know how difficult it is - but is has to be better than keeping all of this inside yourself.
