What a horrible day for a family I know

When my husband and I were in our senior year of high school we became good friends with another couple in our grade. We were all pretty inseparable for about a year.
My husband didn't want to continue to hang around them as we all spent so much time together he just wanted us to spend time alone.
A few years ago this girls mother was murdered by the husband (my friends father). The family has been suffering from that horror ever since.
Today this girls 13 year old son was killed. For some reason he was home from school and driving a tractor down the road and a woman hit the tractor and it threw him off and he was killed.
This boy was in my nephews grade and only a year older then my daughter.
I can't even imagine how hard this has to be for them. I can't even let myself imagine to much because it is just so heartbreaking and scary that this could happen. This is absolutely tragic.

That would be very difficult to get over.. specially the murder .. My brother was murdered by unknown people and we have never gotten over it, how much more if your mother was murdered by your father or people known to you.. it tough

@epiffanie In my friends shoes I literally don't know how I would feel. I fear I would hate the parent that murdered the other one.

Even today farm related accidents kill so many people, expecially young ones. That is awful.

This boy was just mowing his lawn I guess so it must have been a small lawn mower referred to as a tractor. I heard it happened out in the front yard along the road so the poor kid was trying to mow his lawn and was killed.

@ridingbet I have no idea :-( I wouldn't want to say anything like that to them I think it would be a very touchy subject.

@shaggin they are not scared of the spirits that may thrive in that house, what with murders?!

Difficulties come one after the other in a row or sequence. So once anything happens better they consult the religious head and seek their blessings. They will guide people in all their hardships.

I don't know if they are religious or not if so I hope they are able to find comfort in god.

So sad for them. Losing a child is probably the most traumatic experience a family can go through. I can't even imagine the grief of losing a mother and a child, and in such violent ways. I'll pray for her.
