Journey of working through tragedy

Interesting place to be. Tragedy has once again come into our lives and because of who I am, it seems to affect me physically. I wonder how someone can have no heart, have no conscience, no feeling. How can someone walk into someone else's home, douse a person with gasoline, and light them on fire. So may lives are affected by this one heinous act. The one who has burns over 70% of her body, the victim's parents since they lived in the home too, the perpetrator, and the perpetrator's family, plus the numerous friends of both people. So many emotions going through that I found it is best to try and be numb, so I don't have an overload. I just want to scream, scream until I can't scream anymore, scream until all the pain is gone, scream until justice is served. Right now I am trying to lay everything down and give everything over to God, but it is so hard because I want to understand, understand such a horrible act of violence. My true and honest wish is for everyone to live in peace and harmony, but yet in 2010 that still seems as impossible as it did hundreds of years ago. So, right at this moment I just pray for my mind to shut off, for my obsession with this case to cease and for peace to come in.
