Kristy, I don't know you, but I wanted to extend a hug as well. It sounds like you have a lot to process. Tricia, I get stuck it the why's. At times it makes me mad because I think getting caught up in the why's distracts from taking action against the problem. Then I end up admitting I don't have an idea of how to combat the problem and spending my time on the why's actually distracts me from having to admit I'm upset about something I haven't a clue how to fix. Good grief? Does that make any sense? Lisa Ps last blog post..What Are You?

Thanks so much for the hugs. I just have been left with this big hole in my heart and I guess I am not ready to let go of the why and accept this. Such a tragic sencless death at only the age of thirty leaves me with such a large WHY and I only have tears and no answers and I can’t seam to get past it yet.

I think you nailed it here. I imagine the empty hole one feels without the closure or explanation as to "why" leaves the victim feeling victimized all over again. I think what you're doing here is wonderful. steenky bees last blog post..Reasons Why I Can't Post This Week

thanks for reminding me again about the power of letting go. whether it's the need to understand why, anger, fear, resentment, unhealthy relationships, or even tangible things - letting go is freeing, but its one of the hardest things to do. coffeejitters (Judy Haley)s last blog post..Dear Gem - Month 1

I commend you for facing this difficult topic. It is horrible to hear about some young girl being sexually abused…especially by someone who should love her most and make protecting her his priority. Sadly there are many women out there who have been violated…but have never told anyone. Living and surviving it is not always consolation when you spend your whole life suffering in silence.
Men who rape are bad enough…but men who rape little girls should be castrated and or have branded on their forehead that they rape little girls (or children in general). We may never have the answer as to “why”…but child molesters and rapist should be forced to carry more shame than their victims.

I wish you the very best with this mission Tricia…may your hard work bring all victims peace

You are so amazing and strong Tricia. I think I hang onto the WHY to. And sometimes we don't get an answer or clarification we do go through the cleansing process. You know I wish you the best. MamaGeeks last blog post..KEEP BELIEVING.

Wow Tricia, I admire your courage to face the past – the past always makes the future that much harder cause it brings back things forgotten and unearths pain unknown to us …
I think asking WHY is a natural and healthy thing – a sure precursor to finding a voice – only the restless speak up….
Making people question is enough to help them find their voices…sometimes it takes a little hand holding and courage – and you are doing ALL of that.
It must be so hard for you to present the outside perspective while being on the inside – I wish you the best.
The answer to your questions is in the telling, I think
