My world has been shattered........I have been given the news that our friends daughter has been murdered by her boyfriend who then killed himself. We are all reeling from the shock & I just don't know what to do or say......every time I try to talk to my friend I break down & can't seem to stop sobbing. Please pray for us I don't know how we are going to get through this nightmare

It does helps to talk about it. Went thru much the same 11 years ago with a friends daughter by her husband's cousin. The pain will lessen but there are always little things that bring back those memories. God's blessings be upon your friend and her family and with you also. So sorry that you are all going thru this. Prayers

Just being there to listen and cry with them is something that helps, though nothing can ease the pain. Please know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so deeply sorry for all of you, and your loss. I don't know what to say to help, as I guess there is really nothing you can say. Unfortunately, this happens all too often and over and over again. My husbands niece was killed by her husband and then he killed himself. Why do they have to take others, if they are so miserable and don't want to live? It's always the same state of mind, 'If I can't have her, no one can'. Unfortunately too, restraining orders are often just a piece of paper, useless. Live through it, you will, but life will be forever changed. I really am terribly saddened to hear this and know all of you need our prayers.-Toogie

My pastor believes and tells families where suicide is involved that the person could not have been in his/her right mind and cannot be held responsible. Just in a terrible place of deep desolation. I am so sorry for their loss and will be praying for that family to hold their heads up and send their prayers to God so they can survive this terrible blow.

This is terrible! I can not imagine loosing a child in this manner. I think a lot of girls 25 yrs. and under are in abusive relationships and fail to get help and it they try to break up, the boy thinks if I can't have her no one will have her. We as a society have some very sick young people out there. All I can say is to be there for your friends helping them in any way you can. Even helping them pick out clothes for the funeral as all this is most difficult being in the state of shock. Kay

There is nothing you can say that will make a difference right now. Just be there and hug your friend. Let her know you are praying and have ask for other prayers. That's abput it right now. Maybe later you can come to terms with things, like the family. Your Cuties ate with you.
