I was made aware yesterday that a good friend of mine, someone that I've known since I was 3 years old, was murdered on Sunday. Stabbed to death by a girl who had been staying with her who was apparently very troubled. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with pcos, but I am overwhelmingly sad and needed to share my burden.
This lady was only 54 years old. Her oldest son had been one of my best friends, and I shared a very small portion of her grief when she lost him in 1995 at 18 years of age (I was devastated, but she lost her child, something no mother should ever have to experience). This was a woman who would've made you feel welcome in her home at any time even if you'd just met. She was a wonderful woman and deserved better than to have her life taken from her by anyone, let alone someone she'd gone out of her way to help. This was a 23 year old girl who killed her.
I am so sad for her father who has laid to rest his parents, wife, grandson, now daughter. And I'm so sad for her surviving son who has lost his only brother, his mother, and was raised without a father. I just feel so sad and angry. And I needed to share that and I'm sorry that it is such a sad story to read.
Please pray for my friends soul and her family that she leaves behind. As angry as I am and although I wouldn't call myself 'religious', (I do feel 'spiritual though), please pray for that girl who was able to steal the life of another.

My thoughts and prayers are with all affected!
Love,

Thank you everyone, for your thoughts and prayers. I do appreciate it. It still seems unreal to me. This is the sort of thing that happens in cities to people you don't know. I can't believe it has happened to someone I've known for so long and in our tiny town. Thanks again everyone.

Yes, it is a shock. Where this happened is a hamlet with a store and a post office and a 100 year old hotel. Maybe, maybe 200 people. It is just simply not something I can believe. I spoke to my friends father tonight and he says they are all dealing with it in their own way and are coping. I just want to bawl! Why does it seem these horrible things happen to wonderful people. I am having these waves of disbelief. I see her face and I think for a split second 'no way, not her. Someone else, somewhere else.' And then it sort of settles for a moment in my mind that it is true and I will never see her again. How truly unfair life can be.
