Very Sad News

Yesterday, I learned that a family friend died - not just died, but apparently murdered. Our friend, Linda Muegge, was killed on Monday.

i can't begin to tell you how shocking this is. It is disturbing, and frightening and sad. And I feel so sorry that my friend suffered - argh. It makes me angry and weepy all at once.

There aren't many details, no motive or suspects - just tragedy.

I haven't ever known someone who has been murdered. I have worked with lots of trauma - from all the years working with sexual abuse survivors. But this is personal, and awful. I do know that people are killed everyday - all over the world there are murders.

But it is still difficult to comprehend.
