to explain this to their kids who can't fully comprehend and are going to be scared to some degree forever. Sorry Haighter for having to deal with this....you are taking the best approach in a no win situation. Previous MessagePrevious Message
...and just kinda factually told them. We didn't get into detail (some of that came out later) but told them that a terrible thing had happened and Mackenzie and Alex and their family were all dead.
We explained that it was their mom and she was very very sick and that other kids are safe and this is incredibly rare and we'd answer any questions they had.
They were both upset by it but my son wanted to go to school. His sister, who's a little more anxious wanted to stay home. She didn't want to talk about it with grief counselors and other kids and etc etc. I took a day off and let her stay home and we just hung out. She had lotsa questions and was "nervous" that maybe parents get mad enough that they kill their family sometimes.
They're doing all in all ok but sometimes they'll say something that just makes you choke up. We were cleaning up this weekend and going through a box of old school stuff and found a partner/writing exercise that my daughter and the younger girl had done together about SF Animal Care and Control...because like all 9 year old girls they love animals.
It puts an immediate lump in your throat. Previous MessagePrevious Message
...that hit really close to home.
It was a family annihilation of the family of a classmate of my 9yo daughter. Shocker is, it was the mother who was the murderer of the rest of them.
Even more disturbing (for me) is that I broke the news to our friend group. On Wednesday last week, I took a different exit on the way home from work and it took me past their house. I saw the police presence and caution tape and called a cop friend where they informed me "it's not good...murder suicide of the family, including the kids".
It's been pretty mentally consuming/exhausting and not in a good way...but that bitch of a woman, I'm sure, planned this to have maximum impact on her family and everyone else tangentially involved.
