Question

I know someone from my sixth grade class that has now been murdered. I feel like if I would of done something back then maybe it would of changed her future. Maybe I could of saved her life. I don't know what to think. http://www.star-telegram.com/229/story/814669.html here is the story. It is sad. 2 years later and now she is dead.

Answer 1

aw :( DON'T feel bad! There was nothing you could do! She was a beautiful girl and is much happier now I promise :]

Answer 2

Listen baby, you're young. Stop blaming yourself for her death. Things happen for a reason, hon. Okay? So, don't try to make things better. God wanted her by his side so he took her. I don't want you or anyone else think that just because they witnessed a murder, that it's their fault. If you are still feeling that it's your fault, e-mail me at [e-mail] for more advice.

Answer 3

Hey Will.

Sorry, but you couldn't, no matter how much you tried, could not have changed the future.

Life is only in God's hand, and we can't do anything about it.

Don't feel bad. I have experience as well.

I moved to another neighborhood in my borough in New York when I was in 3rd grade, and the previous years, I used to go to another school, where I knew this girl really well. We weren't the best of friends, but she had this little 4 year old sister who was sweet and stuff. Well, when I found out that Estelle was stabbed and her little sister was murdered by her mother's ex-boyfriend, I was horrified and shaken.

I was thinking that I could have done something to stop the murder, but it wasn't in my hands.

I know its really sad, but like me, just move on, and just think that she is in a better place.

Answer 4

you shouldn't feel bad because #1 she wouldn't want you to #2 you can't do anything about it now and #3 you have a chance to make a difference in someone Else's life e.g. help those who lose a loved one or those in your situation :D when something bad happens to me i'd like to think i wouldn't get sad but think "ok this is the problem; now for the solution' also prayer is really helpful just telling GOD about what your going through, he's always there because GOD is love; try it wholeheartedly, i saw the article; sorry for your loss

GOD bless
