What’s the backstory of murder after the police leave, the headlines read and news footage viewed? What's the personal fallout on first responders, witnesses, coworkers, family members and even the perpetrator years and decades later? Honest, detailed true accounts and comments by those who traveled the path are shared. In addition, some episodes spotlight information that is rarely known at the time it is needed. There are so many more victims than the ones taken to the morgue. Yet there is hope. Post Traumatic Growth does happen and no one has to go it alone. (This podcast is published twice-monthly on Wednesdays January - November.)

Resources are painfully lacking for the loved ones of a murder victim. It soon becomes clear that help from others who have traveled the path is invaluable. And so, the need for a reference book to answer important questions becomes obvious.

This episode explains the abyss that survivors face, and how the guidebook What Now? Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide and Suicide steps in to help.

Two questions immediately come to mind. How did this travesty of justice even happen?

Listen in. Know what's at stake. Know how to lend support to Temujn and others in his shoes. Know who to make accountable.
