Emotional Toll

[tlcya]

just when I lose all sense of faith, in the concept of justice, lightning strikes the tree standing next to Caylee's remains site. If I recall, an inverted cross appeared in the sky during some pretty dark days of Zahra's case. That sign too, came at just the right time to offer us hope and restore our faith, that all will be as it should be.

Today, I am still disgusted with our earthly system of justice, but my faith has been restored in the much larger, cosmic one. All will be as it should.

Take heart my friends.

I thought of Zahra's cross in the sky too when I heard about the lightning strike at the site where Caylee's remains were found. And to me it is much more then just coincidence. The verdict left me stunned, sad and angry like so many of you all. I can't believe it, no justice for this sweet angel, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

All I can do is remind myself that what is right and just will prevail over evil. Come here and read and remind myself that the world is full of wonderful people like you all, that when you put them side by side, good will trump evil every time. That thise who get away with their evil doings will one day pay for what they have done, that they won't get away with anything in the long run. I will be following EB's trial, and keeping faith that she never sees the light of day, and that anyone else who let this happen, who participated in anyway, will be punished to the full extent.

When I close my eyes, I can see Zahra's beatiful beaming smile, and I can smile too, because I know she is in the arms of angels.

After (still) being a mess from Caylee's "verdict".. :whiteflag: I have given this to God. He will handle all justice. There's a reason this happened. We just don't know what it is yet. Divine intervention rarely operates during our preferred time schedule, but it never disappoints.

Meanwhile, I'm going to continue helping Him down here... since he'll be busy making appointments for Karma to visit <certain unusual people>..

Zahra and many other little one's need our help and hope... collectively, we must hang on to that right now, lest we lose ourselves in anger and resentment.

Anxiously awaiting and still actively pursuing Justice for Zahra :rose:

Much love & light to my fellow WSr's :grouphug:

No, we will NOT give up, nor will we give in to anger and resentment... thank you Noetic.

We will fight for those who cannot, until we ourselves draw our last breath. And it will tilt the universe's soul.

It will.

It's raining here to day, and as I read the news of the developing 'Hurricane Irene' I wanted to wish all in it's expected path peace, love & safety. I hope it turns around back into the ocean.

Can't help but wonder as well, if this is nature's way again, (Caylee) of clearing a view for the rest of Zahra to be discovered and/or more evidence before the trials begin. From my typing fingers to God's ear... Just thinking out loud.

Be safe everyone! You are loved and thought about often by me. :grouphug:

Noetic Soul, I'm about an hour away from where Zahra was killed. On our local news the DA said EB would be tried and sentenced for every charge against her before Zahra's trial. They are gonna be sure she is a jailbird with lots of jail time before anything can happen like what happened with Caylee's case.

This was said on the news the last time she had a court appearance. Can't give you a link but rest assured she will spend a large amount of her remaining life in jail and it will not be just dependent on Zahra's verdict.

I just want Zahrah's head found, it's just not right that it hasn't been. Her mum Emily deserves to put Zahara to rest back in Oz --all of her.

 

[jaleigh]

I doubt I'll ever get over Zahra's death. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't get involved emotionally or time wise with another missing child case or child murder. Zahra's innocent face with her freckled smile touched me. Once more I was praying for a child, this child to be found. The day this presser was on tv I happened to be home from work. The ill feeling I felt never went away. I hope I can give you sleuthers support. I'm sure I will find support within the comrodery I see here.

welcome jaleigh, to a great group of people and a hug of a thread. Our little gal has affected us all, permanently. None of us will ever be able to forget, nor would we want to.

I understand. Maybe that will be the result in bargaining between life or death for EB.

What bothers me more than that is Adam's lack of prosceution for child abuse and neglect when he obiviously knew of Zahra's pain and did nothing about it.

He is responsible for something and should be charged. Maybe they are waiting to see how her trial comes out and the information presented there to determine charges against him??? I don't know but I do know Zahra's in no more pain.

I think her soul is in Heaven and that is giving her mom peace.

The death penalty is off of the table and has been for a long time. Providing she told LE the truth. They only reason I think she did not tell them where the head is, as far as we know, is the reason they searched the yard for so long. Sorry.

This case still takes alot out of me but I must agree that there is a reason the skull has not been found

 

[Carolina Girl]

Yes, we are all in this together. This is not the world I grew up in. I wish the Good Lord would give that back to us. Parents are NOT supposed to kill their babies. Hugs to all of my Buds here.

 

[borndem]

Oh, big hugs Carolina Girl......:blowkiss:
We all feel your pain, it has been such an emotional roller coaster. If you need to take a break, we will all completely understand; and we will all be here for you when you are refueled up on joy, and not immersed in the terrible sadness that these cases have brought down on us all. Despite the evil that sometimes seems to haunt around every corner, this world is a beautiful place, for it also has people like you in it!

We will find justice for these babies! And we will continue to crack away at each corner of evil, until there is no need for another Emotional Toll thread.

Peace, my friends. Group hug!

Shalom and big :crush:smiles to you and a Group Hug, :grouphug: as Oriah says above from all of us WS'ers to you, CarolinaGirl. We send you this one, too! :grouphug:

All good :lepsmilie: and:cheer: positive:bateyes: thoughts from us :seeya: :luv: :angel::wave: :loveyou: in all our various places and spaces.:giggle: :heartbeat: A breath of air is always good for a New Day. :balloons: :rose::spring:

:justice:

Thank you Borndem.

Please excuse this graphic post...

I think sweet Z's head is smashed in a million pieces, NSoul.

IMO, it was either the cause or a by-product of her death & murder. In a fit of rage or cruel jealousy or both, the killer may have just delivered enuff blunt-force trauma to her little head to kill her; or during dismemberment, they/she/he decided to destroy it since it would be a good source of id (teeth). Short-sighted, yes, but there had to be some dumb and panicked thinking going on in the rush to get her remains out of the house. Maybe a jawbone or smaller piece may have survived, but her sweet head, I believe, is gone with the wind....

:banghead: Sorry to say it this way.

 

[Flakes]

I've just been reading through a month or two of your heartfelt posts. They're very touching. The outcome of Caylee's case has obviously caused many of you great heartache and disappointment. I was never involved in researching the Caylee case, but I realise from your posts over time, that many of you have taken both girls and their cases into your hearts; so there must be some special sorts of connection or parallel between Caylee and Zahra. But then again, I believe we're all connected, so it's no great surprise.

Anyway, in spite of whatever the outcomes of the cases and whether we as individuals perceive "justice" served or not, I guess I try to be pragmatic and accept that the court system does what it can to uphold the written law within our systems. But ultimately, it's that higher power that I believe exists (whether that's God, the Buddha within, or whatever other concept you subscribe to, or even an ultimate nothing), that will ensure that True justice, with a capital T, is served. I believe that is beyond human minds and power. Individuals who commit these horrendous crimes against these children (or any for that matter) break with what I see as a fundamental undercurrent of humanity, and they have to deal with this every moment for the rest of their lives, and beyond. It presents to them in a myriad of ways. No burden can or should be greater than that – it's certainly a greater punishment than jail, and I have great trust in this. And of course this applies whether they're found guilty or not guilty, as there is, in my view, no escape. I guess that's how I remain optimistic.

Of course it doesn't stop me from hoping that in Zahra's case we see justice within the legal system as well.

Take care, keep the faith

 

[borndem]

Well said, Flakes - I do believe in whatever it is that nearly everyone believes is what I call Karma, at the very least. Besides mere Karma -- which can occur here on earth, the variable being when it comes back -- I believe in the Christian notion of life after death, and all its mainstream definitions.

The sad thing is, we don't always get to see Karma hit "them" in the face, but just knowing that it is there around the corner, waiting for them is, for a lot of us, enuff. But some crimes are so horribly bad, I think a lot of us want the Karma to continue after death and into eternity. And Caylee, Shaniya and this one are that type. We seem to see so many like that...

And so, we'll see what justice for the two perpetrators of Zahra's he!! on earth will be.... We don't know when, we just know a trial should occur unless they wise up & take a tuff, tuff plea.

 

[tlcya]

I am not sure how to feel about the rumoured plea negotiations between prosecutors and defense for EB. I am not sure if I am angered or relieved or a bit of both that this may never come to trial afterall. I guess it would depend on what the plea was and how much time I could expect to see that monster serve.

 

[Hickory Born]

My emotions are running high tonight. First, I wonder if the reason Emily is coming, is that LE/DA has already informed her that a plea deal has been resolved and there will be NO trial.

A plea deal angers me on quite a few levels. First off and most importantly, this will keep Adam off the witness stand. I wanted him up there "under oath." I feel for sure he would have lied in some answers.

Secondly, if a plea is being taken just to save North Carolina some money, SHAME ON THEM.

Thirdly, if a plea deal occurs, we will never hear the real story. We will never hear why witnesses didn't report or do something about the abuse they witness. We will never hear from the dept. of children services, and we will never hear from the teacher who befriended Zahra.

Someone might write a book about this, but NONE of the people will be Under Oath when talking to the author. I want the TRUTH for all of them and I want them on the witness stand explaining how and why they didn't stop this from happening!
