Never goes away

Hi,
We are 2 years post sentencing. You tick along and then along comes Huw Edwards and boom ???? it all comes flooding back.
The vitriol on social media, often made by people without reading the details. Lots of "P" words, death penalty etc etc.
Don't even get me started on the disparity in sentencing. It is something which never ceases to infuriate me. I get there is mitigation etc etc but then SHPO and SOR never seems to be consistent.
i have been awake since silly o clock and mainly due to all the feelings and emotions that bubble back up. It's amazing how you can feel that yoh have moved on and then in a blink of an eye you feel back at the beginning.

I am so sorry this post has been missed. I think a lot of us myself included, have been affected by the HE saga. It is because it is just so public and like you say the comments are horrendous. But they are from people who have no idea what it is like for the families. Only one comment have i seen that actually mentioned how hard it must be for the family and it made me think that perhaps they know from experience.
I hope as time has gone by that you have now been able to go back to your new normal as the press has died down for the moment.
Sending you a virual hug. I am also 2 years post sentencing. Xx

Your right Cornish Tea - it never goes away and triggers are always just around the corner. A conversation can easily change into an area you want to avoid. Hearing the P word is just the worst.
i think you just very slowly rebuild your life around this horrible pain and focus on the positive areas of your life. At times you don't feel the 'positives' but honestly they are there and DO shine through. X God bless and keep strong x
