My Heart is Heavy

Yesterday as I listened to a call come over the scanner, I prayed for a young woman that had been found with an object impaled in her chest. A short time following this, I found out that it was my niece.
She had been shot with a crossbow. They thought it was a suicide. My gut wrenched and my heart shattered into a million pieces. The local police are investigating and although it appears to be a homicide, they are deeming her death as unattended.
So, with that, I will be offline for a while. I need to heal my heart and be strong for my family.

So sorry, wouldn't it be hard to shoot yourself with a crossbow? I guess you could trigger it with your foot..so sorry..

Such a loss. I am okay for a little bit, then lose it when in a flash.

Thank you. This is so hard for us to understand why and we many never truly know.
