..So there I am. I have a very good reason to believe that it wasn't an act of vengeance. Thus when I hear the survivor sound off it's very difficult for me to hold my silence on the matter.
Man I often bite my tongue under certain circumstances.

I honestly believe this is the truth. But would saying it hurt or help?>>>>>
I don't think any answer is required unless you do want to speak your feelings on the matter. But it isn't necessary.
>>>Until I can answer that question, "silence is golden".>>>
Yes it is and if you feel strongly about trying to offer solace in terms of groups they could join to help the grieving process then do so. But if it is just a "discussion" of views don't express yours unless you really want to discuss it and how you feel. Again it probably isn't necessary.
I would say I don't think it is necessarily revenge except for like sassy and others said, a younger person feeling angry.
For me, the times it has been strictly due to hopelessness. It was actually the thought of my children that made me stop.
