Listen to your intuition. When you're at a crossroad, the little voice is always talking to you. You just have to pay attention.

About This Quote

On November 30, 2014, I woke up in a cold sweat, shaking and crying. I got up and put on my hoodie and went downstairs. I stared at the TV for hours. I was in complete shock.

My husband had been shot and killed during a robbery while asleep in his bed. I couldn't believe it. I needed to know more about what was going on but there was no news from the police or the National Guard.

The next morning, a friend of mine called me and told me that my husband had been murdered at his home during a home invasion robbery while he was asleep in his bed with his wife. He then said that they were going to release a statement by noon that all of us should be prepared for. That's when everything started to get real for me. At this point, I called my dad to tell him the news.

He told me not to worry about speaking to anyone else about it because he would take care of everything from here on out for me. My father made arrangements for all of us to go see a counselor and a funeral director for counseling before we could grieve together as a family. We all went together, including our four children who were just 9, 10, 11 and 12 years old at the time.

The counselor was going through questionnaires with everyone to determine who needed additional counseling before we could begin grieving together as a family. She asked us questions like if we had any plans of hurting ourselves or harming others since all of this happened so fast and there was an immediate need for counseling because she couldn’t even begin to imagine how all of this affected my family members emotionally at that moment in time. I started crying when she asked if there were any plans of suicide after all of this happened so fast. She said that the questions were very specific because she didn’t want anyone to become depressed after hearing about what had happened to my husband so quickly.

She also said that they couldn’t offer any free counseling services because she had only received donations for this event yesterday; however, she would do her best to help us through this difficult time with all of our questions and concerns about our future needs as a couple if anything like this ever happened again with anyone else or if something similar ever happened again in our lives at any point in time in the future; however, it would be up to us to make those decisions on whether or not we needed additional counseling services! When all of us
