Is it her place to forgive? The violence was against her daughter, not her.
I had to come to grips with that question, is it my place to forgive while I’m the survivor mother of a murdered child, I am not the victim, and only the victim can forgive.
All I can do is fight the corrupt INJUSTICE system with their stats. We did not live in a bad neighborhood, small town, very little crime. Sociopath wanted to see what it felt like to kill, and ambushed my 16 yr old on his way home from HS less than a block from our home, he was mentally and physically a 12 year old. His voice hadn’t even cracked, no peach fuzz. A$$ AG RINO plead him down from M1 to M2 and 20 yrs, I eked out 12.5 yrs, 6 parole hearings, which included 2 years it took to get to the plea deal. He now walks a free man. And I’m his #1 target and I CCW.
I don’t forgive. I still hurt.
She was damaged with the loss of her daughter. That is not hard to understand. It would be, “I forgive you for taking my daughter away from me”.
That is a huge damage. The survivors are the ones who end up suffering. For the dead, they have no consciousness to suffer. They are just on to the next phase where we are all heading eventually.

I think her place ought to be in an asylum for the insane. The only people I despise more than violent criminals and traitors are people who “forgive” them. Freaking pious morons!
it amazes me that they think they have the power to forgive the pain of some one else. This mother can forgive the pain the murderer caused her but she or anyone else except the victim can forgive this jackass. Guess they have to be judged no forgiveness for his acts. I wonder if even Jesus has the power to forgive such actions..
