Child dies by homicide
The death of a child of any age can be devastating
Issues: The
child's body can be missing or not visible, in which case a proper burial or
cremation cannot be carried out Destinations by the police might take weeks, months, or even years. Authorities might start by searching the family for suspects, which would
revictimize the survivors who are experiencing the most severe suffering. Updates on recent events could seep into the family, and weeks or months might
go by without communication until the family initiates it. If the kid was killed abroad, the family might have to deal with the
legal and law enforcement systems of that other nation, which might have
different protocols. There might also be communication and linguistic hurdles
and expensive and annoying travel.
how to survive: Every
family member responds differently to the murder of a child. While some may
make an effort to live "normally," others may choose not to,
realizing that "normal" is a transient state. Regrettably, the
difficult process of mourning is frequently postponed as the family deals with
the difficulties the child's death presents. There might be a lot of flashpoints during and after the pursuit of justice
that will remind people of the horrific events that occurred. Among the
triggers is observing or recognizing the defendant.
Speaking
with other parents who have gone through a similar situation can be consoling
for many mourning parents. As a peer-to-peer support group, The Compassionate
Friends can meet that need by providing grieving families who have lost a child
with friendship, understanding, and hope. Sharing your story and where you are
in your grieving process allows you to get insight from other people's
experiences and coping strategies that have helped them get by. Even while not
every member of The Compassionate Friends has experienced the death of a child
through murder, they are all acutely aware of the anguish that comes with
losing a child and are looking to learn from those who can assist them in
finding purpose in their life again.
