Hello and welcome to the first issue of the F.A.I.T.H Newsletter. My name is Karen and I will be writing articles for you concerning homicide survivors. I hope to bring helpful and useful information to you on a number of topics concerning victims of homicide. To begin, I'd like to give you a little of my background. I am a mother of two sons, one of whom was murdered May 12th 1998. He was my oldest son and he was 25 years old. He was killed in his own home. I was the one who found him a day later. This has pro- foundly changed my life. One minute I was an average homemaker and mother, the next, my world was shattered. The first thing I realized was, I had 2 choices. One, I could give up, or two, I could fight back. I chose to fight. Since that terrible day, I have become active in Victims Rights. It is one way I can honor my son and all others who lose their lives in this most devastating way. I also found that online support groups were to be my life savers. There are so many compassionate and supportive groups out there. Someone is always available to help you through the hardest times. There is also much valuable information on the right's of victims. There is information on new legislation that is passed. The easiest way to keep current on new laws is via the Internet. With the articles I will write, I will bring information to you, on where to find the help you need. I will also have other homicide survivors share their experiences with us. I will review many online support groups to find the most helpful and informative. Finally, this will be our newsletter, so I will appreciate feedback and suggestions from our readers. I look forward to writing for you and I hope that you will look forward to receiving your newsletter every month.
