The roxieroxie rollercoaster

[Jackson Queens]

Anyone else feel it? It felt great after reading of the guilty verdict in her murder and then sad, very sad. While the emotions have leveled out now, it was a startling double whammy of feeling at the intimate level.

I Flip-Flop between Happy and Sad.

Last time I felt anything similar was many years ago after winning a fire fight but some of my compadres didn't survive.

I didn't know Roxie that well but I Did Know her.

I pretty much hover at angry and haven't really budged from that since those two were arrested

There are many wrongs in this world. One must choose battles. This senseless death over petty jealously is surely a tragedy worthy of the choice.

At some point each person needs to move forward.... The guilty verdict will be what some require... Others will require the sentence.

No matter what one feels, it is not a perfect world and what you desire most likely not happen in the justice system....

Will there be closure? Most likely not.... Anytime we lose someone there will not be closure IMHO because they will always be remembered and are a part of who we are.

Remember the good things about Roxie and that justice has prevailed.

The important thing is to move forward.

Actually the most important thing with grief is to respect that it's a different process for everyone. Grief can be a very personal, individualized feeling, shared by no two people in exactly the same way. While, yes, the majority of feelings may be similar. We each personalize our grieve based on our feelings, emotions and past life experiences. Others may share very very similiar feelings but no one else can experience it in exactly the same way as you do. For some it may be short for some it may be long. There are no rules.

Be considerate and give each individual their space to experience their grief the way they feel they need to.
