Judge not, lest ye be judged...

Response to Sympathy is never misplaced

 

Said a man who was wise, whom many believe is the Son of God. Anger and bitterness is a natural part of the emotions we all feel as we grieve for our dear friend. The circumstances of her death being what it is, it is also natural that some of us will turn that anger against Victoria, and others against those members of her family and close friends whom they perceive as having been less than completely supportive of her. It may be true that expressing such emotions, or even just harboring them, may compound the bitterness and grief we all feel at losing such a wonderful, loving person from our midst. Yet it is also true that such emotions are only natural at times like this, and expressing them may bring some relief to those of us who feel that way.

I cannot judge the depth of anybody else's feelings, or their need to express them, or the ways in which they choose to express them. I can only say that I respect how everybody feels, and how everybody expresses what they are feeling, and pray that no further pain and bitterness spring from this. In the end we are united in this: We all wish Victoria was still here with us, and we all pray that she has found peace, wherever she is.
