I've spent the past few days trying to constantly distract myself so that I'm NOT crying 24/7.
You don't know how you'll react to a tragedy like this unless you're actually going through it. But thanks for telling me I'm not grieving correctly. I'll keep that in mind when I'm at the funeral this weekend.
And my account is new because of how I found this forum. I was googling for news articles about Sam's death. I found this, along with two Washington Post articles and video clips from fox 5 and NBC 4. I read through all of the comments, was more than a little upset by them, and felt the need to make an account and comment.
Since you're saying this happens every time someone dies, I'd guess I'm not too unusual in how I'm dealing with my grief. |
He stole a vehicle, ran from the police, ordered to stopped, acted like he had a weapon - he was shot... sorry that he died but if he was doing something constructive maybe, just maybe he would not have been killed...
