bnysarah, So sorry for what has happened. I think I understand, in a way, how you feel. When you see some news about someone you don't know you say "Oh, how sad etc etc" But when you have actually had some kind of contact, even though you never met, it is totally different. A couple of times over the years I have met certain people, and then I've heard they had some kind of accident or died and the reaction was totally different, far more emotional. It's one thing to prey on people on the internet for maybe a few dollars, but to lure them into something with the sole intent of murdering them, especially in such a disgusting way is horrifying. I hope they catch the bastard and give him just punishment. With what I see around the world, I am beginning to think the death penalty should be reintroduced. Or maybe they should all be put on an island somewhere in the middle of nowhere and left to each other. Medical treatment of any kind never seems to work cos as soon as they are released saying "Yes, I'll be a good boy". they go straight out and do it again. Apart from the fact that what appears to be a beautiful lady has been taken from us, some kids are now without a parent and guidance and love to grow up with. I've noticed over the years that the Manchester area seems to have a very high serious crime rate. I used to travel there quite regularly many years ago when my employer had business there. It always seemed to be so depressing there, and then there was the terrorist bombing!!! Anyway, I hope that you can move on from this terrible event and find someone to share with. Don't forget, if it becomes a mental burden thinking about it, seek professional help. Love and best wishes michelleCD :butterfly:
That's terrible, I don't really know what to say. :sad0020: sarah - if you need to keep posting about how you're feeling, please do... don't bottle it up, and don't feel like you are bothering anyone. I think we all probably see a little bit of ourselves in her as well... just looking out there for something or someone special, and forgetting that not everyone is what they seem. It just sickens me that people are preyed on like this.
Sarah, you should never be afraid to post how you are feeling here. Every one will always be supportive. I hope you're feeling alright, I can't imagine what you must be thinking and feeling right now. There will always be some one on the mansion to offer support and a kind word.
the latest news POLICE hunting the killer of a young mum have found the body of a man in a derelict building. It is understood the body was found hanged in a disused building in Greengate, near Manchester city centre. thx for the replies, sharing helps manchester is no worse than any major city really, per head of population, and we jk that the bomb did us a favour, the shopping centre was an eye sore, and we have peace now. i dont think he lured her in that way, it said in the news they had an on off relationship for nealy a year, but she had ended it recently, and she'd gone to the police about threats and they fitted a panic alarm and blocked up her letter box. They dont do this unless they take the threat seriously. Very sad that this didnt help her. it looks like he had history of violence to women though, so he wasnt right in the head thats for sure. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1096342_facebook_fugitives_terrifying_past the reason i feel so selfish is that yes im sad for her and family, but cant help feeling sad for myself that who knows, we might have liked each other..what might have been..etc and then i feel guilty...so trivial compared to what happened to her and her family.
That's not selfish thinking sarah - it's regret... She clearly would have been better off had She never met the guy. And - yes - things may have been a lot different - it is so very sad. It is human nature to think about "what could have been". That's why every day is so important - each day is an opportunity to avoid "what could have been". Each of us is given only so many days... If there is anything to take from this incident - it's not to waste opportunities in life. I am sorry for you and for Clare. Peace.
