Someone in my family committed murder. I was in my late 30s and it threw me.

I talked about it with my family, I wanted to explain it to my kids. But there is no real way to do that.

The best thing I learned from that was profound, even though it took time to see. The only real way to live among evil is to be good. It seems too simple, but that is what I discovered.

I wish peace for you and your family!
