My second cousins trial is on June 6th and the closer it gets the more i become a depressed wreck! Most of you know that 6 months ago she shot and killed my cousin, her dad, and she will only get like 3 years for it. I really miss him and this is bringing back a flood of memories to me. I just need support and people to talk to. Please help....any suggestions on how to deal with it?
p.s. you guys can email me at anytime if you want
Thanks for your support. I apprectiate how you guys just let me get everything off my chest. It helps to know that you all listen.

honey you can always talk to me and i understand the hurt you are feeling but regardless no matter how much time she gets it won't bring him back and i'm sorry that anyone has to feel that pain. as for your flood of memories try writing them down in a journal or just pieces of paper but no matter what you can't keep it bottled up it will kill you and drive you nuts. please feel free to email me if you want l_powell_obt@yahoo.com i wish you the best

Amanda,
Being scared is a real emotion, it lets you know your still alive and that the subject is important to you. Do what you have to do for you ..... do the "What If" mental prep work, run the scenerios in your head ... if this happens I'll do this ... etc...
It may help you preplan who your gonna handle the little stress bombs as they go off.
Just remember ... time will heal ... you may never forget, but would you really want to. Remeber all the good things ... it may help you deal the what comes next.
Be Safe.

So sorry for the tragedy that has happened in our family. How awful for you and for the rest of your family. My heart goes out to you and to your Cousin's family,. May God have mercy on him and to his family. I will keep you and his family in my prayers and also his daughter that shot him
Try to stay calm, I am sure it is very hard to do, but if you try and pray it can happen. You will need to be calm to support your Cousin's family and to be there for them..Also you want to be alert and calm to be there for his daughter and to be able to understand with clarity why she did what she did.
If your depression continues see your doctor for some help to get you past the trial and this horror. God Bless

An upcoming trial is very scary!! I understand that you are anxious and scared. Your feelings are justified. Although you may have to go through the "whole thing" again in court, your presence is extremely important. Be strong. With time, all things will heal. Don't be bitter. Life is short and you still have yours to live.

Hi,I left you a message in yahoo chat box. I am sure you and your family are having some trouble time. First, its ok cry, its ok to talk about it and its ok to show emotions. Support your family and try to comfort yourself as much as you can. I am not sure if you are a Christian, but please allow me to pray for you and your family, please!
God Bless
