I received a call from our Advocate, Caroline, to let me know our prosecution team met with the defense. It’s time to schedule our follow up meeting.
I always feel a sense of unease when speaking to Caroline, not because of anything she’s done, but because I never know what to expect. Caroline has been incredibly valuable to us. She helps navigate the entire legal process, and provides a listening ear whenever I call with questions or concerns.
When facing something of this magnitude, it’s beneficial to have someone in your corner who can help decode the overwhelming details.
Our next meeting is scheduled for January 15th, just one day after my granddaughter’s ninth birthday. As is often the case, there’s a shadow over days that should be filled with joy. This is the reality when you have lost a child to murder.
So many emotions are running through me right now I don’t know what to do with myself.
As I hung up the phone, I sighed, thinking, “I’m so glad the first session of the Grief2Hope series starts tonight.”
I really need it.
