My Brother Was Murdered
A Loved One Taken Too Soon...

Hi Girls, so I know I haven't posted much since our wedding ( I apologize). It just seems like one bad thing has happened after another. First we lost a pregnancy ( I just felt like I was getting over the loss) and now my brother who walked me down the aisle, was murdered on November 19th. He had just turned 30 two weeks prior. He leaves behind two beautiful children, that were his pride & joy. His love for life touched everyone he came in contact with. He was a man of great character and was always ready to help everyone in need.......

I'm really at a loss for words but wanted to ask you lovely ladies to keep myself and my family in your prays during these hard times?

I love you girls & I promise to post more soon. I miss you girls... xoxo & lots of (((HUGS)))

I hope they catch the person or persons that murdered your brother!!! What a horrible thing to do. Taking a life is never a way of revenge or satisfaction and for someone to do that - well I just think they should rot away in a 4x4 cell for the rest of their life.

Futuremrsredford....I send my condolences to you and your family.  Tragedy is bad enough, then to have it at this time of year makes things worse.  Trust me, I know.  I feel the same way and am in need of some sort of support group or something.  I haven't shared my story (or the update of it) just yet, but my family and I have been completely devastated as of Thanksgiving week.  My 19 year old son was offered a 14 year prison term deal and he accepted it.  He already accepted a 6 year prison term on another case a month ago.  So my son is gone until he's probably 40 years old, if not longer. Long story short, he was with the wrong crowd, not even the one that did the damage(robberies), but this is one of those everyone involved must suffer sorta things. So this is the sad result-of which he still doesn't fully understand.  One minute, he was in private school, we were attending his football & basketball games, the next we are struggling with staying by his side on this.  People will often advise you to take one day at a time.  Well, I'm telling you that if you don't have the energy to even do that, then try to take on life in smaller steps-an hour at a time.  Sometimes that's all you can even commit to.  Just look deep within your heart for guidance, strength and power.  You have been and will be okay.  

I've been through tons and tons of drama myself.  So I feel ya.  Death, murder, everything. This is why I tell my friends and coworkers all the time, when they think they have it bad and start complaining about miniscule things such as car problems, etc. , take a look around. It finally got to the point where my FH nicknamed me the bad luck character from the Flintstones, Shleprock.  Craziness.  

Pray and look for peace.  We're hear for you. And praying for you too.

first here is a BIG (((HUG))), and of course we will keep you in our prayers!

Advice given to me: "I can not promise the pain will go away, but I will promise it does get easier to deal with"  Strive for brighter days, I highly encourage you to talk about him especially to his kids.  My nephew lost his dad and he LOVES hearing about his dad now that the shock has gone away.  It may be suprising but depending on their age and your relationship with his kids they may be a great source for helping you grieve.  You will love talking about the happy times, and they will love even more hearing about them.

I am so sorry for your loss and I will pray your patience and strength.

He lives on in your hearts. Keep him alive there!!

To say that I understand what you are going through would be a lie as this is beyond what I ever hope to comprehend. Jessica, you are in my prayers along with your family. I am so very sorry and wish that there was something that any of us can do to make this easier. What I do know is the love and comfort that only God can bring so I pray that over your life right now. On my way home from work today, I was listening to the radio and there was a story being told by a father whose wife and children were murdered in the middle of the night and he survived and he spoke about his journey and the road to forgiveness and healing. I haven't been on this site in a very long time and I just happened to log in and I immediately came across your post. I feel that maybe I should share the book he wrote with you. It is called Terror by night, by Terry caffey. I haven't read it, but his story is one of going through a tragic murder of his family and how he got through it. I love you and am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful brother.

Jessica my prayers are with you and your family, it's never easy to lose someone you love but to have it happen so suddenly and tragically just leaves you spinning.  Everyone seems to know what to say to someone if the person they loved died after a long illness etc. but people avoid you when it is sudden because they don't know what to say but they still feel for you.  I hope the pain in your heart fades and your memories never do.  God Bless
