Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation
After a murder, victims' families face two things: a death and a crime.� At these times, families need help to cope with their grief and loss, and support to heal their hearts and rebuild their lives.� From experience, we know that revenge is not the answer.� The answer lies in reducing violence, not causing more death.� The answer lies in supporting those who grieve for their lost loved ones, not creating more grieving families.� It is time we break the cycle of violence.� To those who say society must take a life for a life, we say: "not in our name."
