Murder. Those left behind
Description
When a family member has been tragically murdered, the survivors not only face the shock of losing a loved one unexpectedly, but face the cruel fact that the death was caused by another human being. Families must contend with sensationalistic media, a confusing and impersonal criminal justice system, and a lack of privacy.In an attempt to offer support to such families, five individuals, including the filmmaker, describe their feelings of betrayal, rage and alienation. Rosemary Masters, C.S.W., a post-traumatic stress disorder specialist, explains the emotional difficulties following such painful events.Divided into sections to facilitate use, the program will be helpful for counselors and the bereaved families themselves. While these people can never forget, with patience and understanding from others they can go on with their lives to become stronger human beings.
