On Twitter last night/this morning, to see it 'slowly' develop as reports come in, your mind, at least mine, kept 'hoping' for 'the best', but with each report the news seemed to skirt the issue until the 'best' you can hope for is survival....
I was raised religous and some of those teachings are a part of me, despite my railings against the institution and injustices of things that happen in life that make it hard to believe in a 'just' god....
That being said, I get a certain comfort that she appears to have been strong in her faith and wanting to uplift people....her family are showing strength upheld by that belief, that although tragic, their loved one lives on.... It is times like these that I hope people like Christina are rewarded in their faith and that her family do find peace in that.
RIP Christina.... I really hope you are right...
Good points, Tusk. Having watched my best friend from high school, also a person of faith, go through years of nightmares after witnessing an accident that ultimately led to her father's death (which she saw as her fault although it wasn't), I recognize other things. What people say at a point like this, and what happens later are often 180 degrees apart.
But if Christina's family can lock onto their belief and faith that she's in a good and safe place, and find comfort from it, well then, good for them. I just suspect her brother isn't going to be able to do that for long. (EDIT) Or rather, he may be able to find comfort in where they all hope she's at, but that won't take away the lingering images of the night she was killed.
