Of course--it's part of the normal grief process.
You can't recoup lost time. All you can do is make the most of what you've got to work with now. Build yourself a life worth living.

Well that's a switch. The elders told the police and now the court is arguing they violated the perp's confidentiality. -

Some Bethelites are Jackasses

That blog post is very confusing.
The main gist is they are "harassing" her by visiting her blog. The purpose of blogs is to bring people to it. If you don't want people reading your writings, you use a diary, not a blog.
Also, visiting your blog is not harassing at all.
Secondly, this:
I've even had them try to change my lesson plans for my school classes
What now?

Mentally ill people cannot help their actions or often even realize them.
True in some cases at certain junctures when symptoms are at their worst.
As a behavioral health clinician, I had a patient confess murder and another violent crime to me. I asked him why he didn't kill the 2nd victim and he said he stopped because he knew it was wrong. This was a person who was very obviously mentally ill by anyone's observation--always acting and dressing bizarre. I talked to him about turning himself in to the police. He agreed he should be locked up and acknowledged his acts were wrong.
That is my most "not cognizant" example of a patient-criminal. My others had a greater awareness of their wrongs and ability to stop them.
There is a saying in AA that is good. "You are not responsible for your disease, but you are responsible for your recovery."
True, the difficulty with mental illness is getting the person to be aware of the problem and accept help. This is true of most humans who need to change something big about themselves--we don't like change or admitting something's wrong.
This guy reportedly had persecutory delusions and command hallucinations, indicative of the most serious level of illness. He refused help--not unusual. It's unfortunate no one forced him to get help before he became violent.

Felons can't get guns. Period.
They can't legally possess guns.
They absolutely can get guns though--easily. In my state, people can sell each other guns on Craigslist, in their garages, or anywhere else. They are not required to do any background check whatsoever. It's up to the felon to not buy the gun, not the other way around.
FFLs require a background check, but they are not the only way guns are legally sold.
Here, no license is required to purchase a gun, and business owners cannot even stop you from packing heat unless they go through extra hoops to accommodate you by providing a gun locker and posting special signs.

Well if we're going to go into gun control, then I'll say this. And I say this as a former behavioral health clinician.
All gun sales should be subject to FFL plus a mental health/substance abuse screen.
It would not stop everything, but it would pick up some glaring mental health cases, and reduce the opportunity for felons to get guns.

Good job! (( ))
Been there, done that. It completely sucks that irrational brainwashing causes easily avoidable problems.
I hope the underlying cause of the anemia has been resolved too.
Please keep us informed about what the elders do.

The Vedas - Scientific Knowledge - Prophecy - The Truth?
by LAWHFol inthe vedas are the core sacred texts for the people of the east.
generally the vedas are to the east as the hebrew scriptures are to the west.

Sanskrit is considered to be the Highest Quality Language, and Most Logical Language in Existence by Nasa
Truth: A paper published several decades ago by an employee of NASA, writing it on his own time with no involvement of NASA, said Sanskrit's strict grammar rules make it easy for computers to interpret. End of story. So...not an indicator of divinity.
The Vedas include Highly Accurate Prophecies of the End Days.
How would we know it's accurate, since it hasn't happened yet?
Their Prophecies include the Coming of Christ & The Great Flood.
So do many religions, but there is no evidence Jesus Christ existed and The Great Flood has been thoroughly disproven.

why is it ok to kill someone who is mentally stable but not someone who is mentally ill?
Who is saying it is?
