I have had one heck of a evening!!!!!!

Amy
It's late here in the far Pacific Northwest, just read your message and a bunch of the posts. These guys are pretty darned eloquent, aren't they? I'm not, but here goes.--- Please take to heart the fact that we all have serious concern and empathy for you and your friend -- even those of us who have not yet been privileged to meet or talk to you but who have read your always cheerful and upbeat posts.

Bad, bad news for you now but I agree with "Paddling Man's" advice --
Cry, yell, laugh, scream. Get it out.

I guess you've gotta use powerful emotions to treat other powerful emotions. What I have come to feel, for what it's worth, Amy, is that in the end, the biggest things that really matter to me is family and friends (oh yeah, and God - I think that we get to keep family and friends forever -- but how about a knife or two ;) ;), and maybe a dog, a horse and a motorcycle! ).
Biggest regards, Amy
Darrell Smith
 
Amy,
I am very, very sorry for your loss and for the suffering being inflicted on all of those who knew your friend. It is unfortunate that there are just enough sick-o's in the world to make the rest of us have to be carefull.

I won't repeat all of the excellent advice that has already been offered and I don't have any magic words that can take away the pain, but hang in there and know that we are here for you.
 
Amy, I lost a friend last year to domestic violence. Her husband shot her in their garage after she filed for divorce.

There was nothing you could have done, and that is the frustrating part that will stick with you for some time kiddo.

The restraining order is nothing more than a legal document, and violation of it gets nothing more than a contempt of court arrest, and even that may not be an immediate arrest.

It is sad that her situation turned out like this.

It is fine for you to feel rage, confusion, hatred, sorrow, and sadness.

Time, loved ones and friends will help the pain lessen. Cherish what you had with her, and use the experience to become stronger, and teach others.

My heartfelt condolences kiddo.
 
Sorry to write last night, and then take off. I had to work.
Anyhow.....
The only thing I can add besides SD and gun ownership and PROPER TRAINING! is to follow your gut instinct. Sometimes it's hard to know when to do this, but listen to you subconscious. If something seems a little off, it's worth checking out.

It's not the police department's job to protect you, it's their job to arrest the guy that killed you. It's your job to protect you.

I'm sorry for your loss.
 
I am very sorry for your loss!! Your friends here will help you through, aside from knife talk we are about helping each other too!
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words and very wise wisdom!!! I really appreciate everyone....and I really needed that last night.... God bless and Thank you again (For putting up with me) Love you all

I come from a family with a very pock marked history, and this type of hurt is no stranger at our door. My wifes family suffered a tragedy (in the text books for Washington state) similar to yours, and actually found retribution through the death penalty.
That being said, the family has honored the memory of their loved one by learning to defend themselves and take charge of their security.
I wish you and the family the very best. Mike
 
I am very sorry for your loss! If there is anything that I can do for you just let me know. Love Ya!!
 
Amy,,I'm really sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

I wish there was more i could say or more advice i could give...the only advice i could give is to always carry a knife and a gun,,should you have to shoot and kill some sorry SOB,,like in this case., you will have a knife to plant in their hand and claim that it was in self defense and in fear for you life. many innocent people are in prison right now for killing "unarmed" burglars, rapers, ect,,in self defense, and have had their lives ruined more by our "legal system" than what most of the attackers would have afflicted on the person.
anyway,,i wont go into our corrupt legal system too deeply,, as most people here already know what i am saying.
but i really hate to hear this happening to you friend, and hoply justice will be served and they FRY THE BASTARD:thumbup:

anyway,,,just be strong and hang in there:cool:
 
Wow! Sorry to hear that Amy. I am sorry for your loss and your pain.

It's been stated a million times that for no good reason, bad things happen to good people all the time.

There are similar incidents reported in the news fairly regularly and my heart just sinks each time as I hear of another innocent person who has been so cruelly victimized..

I personally can’t get my head around the mentality that makes one person treat another like this, with such evil intent and total lack of personal dignity.

Let’s hope the human race raises the bar so that tragedies like this become a thing we only remember hearing about far in the past.

Live positive and pray for a better life for everyone.
 
AMY: Kim wanted to send you a message. It follows. I did not try to correct her spelling, which gets creative sometime. We are all so sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend to a workplace accident 26 years ago, and it still leaves a void.

AMY,
Guddness gracious I can kinda identifie. But not really. I can say how sorry I am. The reason I can kinda identifie is, my biological, not known mother, was murdered. I was just an infent. I know how murder can reak havock. My prayers are sent up for you and all who are invoilved. As bad as it hurts, there is some comfort. I know. How hard it is to make yourself aware that all to be done is to throw your hands up. Let me tell you, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! Intrust it(your pain) to GOD. He masters in easing inner pain. It won't go away, not so frequent or deep or long lasting. I am one that can tell you how GOD has eased so many things in my life. He Will.
Heres a hint- Ask him for help. After all, that is on the top of your list of needs. I assume.
He has promised so much, all that needs to be done, is to understand you are not alone. And help is behond the clouds and in them, right next door, everywhere. GOD does not pretend to believe it'll be simple. He offers a hand and a shoulder.

LOVE A NEW, NO REPLACEMENT FRIEND,
KIM

Sorry to hear the news Amy-O...having been through this experience before, I know you will get through it and grow quite a bit through the support of friends and family, including the hundreds here whose faces and real names you may not even know. You'll only get stronger throught the experience, as unwanted and unnecessary as it was...my condolences.

Don't know where the funeral is, and I'm sure you are well taken care of, but remember that you have a virtual army of supporters anywhere in the country who I'm sure will take care of you whenever you need it, 24-7. :thumbup:

Truer words have never been spoken. When you travel, be sure to carry a list of names of forumites along the way, I've never met one that wouldn't drop everything to help a friend in need

Absolutely agree! We're here if you need us.
 
Amy, I'm really sorry for your loss... The frustration and angst that comes when the answers we are desparately looking for are no where to be found is overwhelming at times... It seems that terrible human behavior toward our fellow humans has unimaginable extremes... There's hope in that those extremes also go the other way with amazing acts of kindness and love... I hope that you will find peace with this sudden and tragic loss..... and that life favors you and your friend's family with the good extremes during this time.... My prayers are with you and your friend's family.
Take care.....
