Road Rage (Update)

36. I am glad that this part of the journey is over.

Now the real work begins for you and your family.

When a loved one is taken from us through crime, we are forced to set the grief aside somewhat, and focus on getting justice. Once the trial is over, however, there is still a grieving process to get through.

It is even harder to get through that process when it is delayed- the rest of the world has moved on, and there is an expectation that the passing of time has made things less painful for the family.

It is time now to focus on the loss of Derek, and not on the monster that took him. I hope your family's love for him, and for one another, will sustain you through this. Don't hesitate to reach out to others for help. There are many here who care.
