What’s it like to lose a loved one to murder? Does the pain ever stop? Do the questions ever get answered?
Lansing City Council-member Carol Wood lost her mom to murder three years ago. Her mother, Ruth Hallman was a woman of compassion and a love for people. She was driven by a desire to help neighbors and others through the problems of life. It was her passion and she was regarded as a world-changer for many people.
In her blog, Carol writes about where she’s at in processing such a huge loss one that happened at an intersection with her birthday. This story is worth reading and sharing with others.
As our city and our culture sees an increasing propensity to settle frustration and anger with guns, it shows the trauma that’s left behind and that lingers for a life time. Click on this link to read Carol’s thoughts on a very personal subject.
