Grief of losing a child is so different from other grief, my youngest sister died in a car wreck 3 years ago and my mom has deteriorated steadily since. It is not natural to bury a child, especially for these people who don't even have an answer as to why. Maybe P does have an idea of what happened, maybe even knows who. I have always thought that this was done by some kids in the town, probably the sons of some wealthy or longstanding family in town and the reason nothing has been done is because of who they are.
I grew up in a town smaller than Weleetka
and this is the exact same type of thing that happened there. When something 'bad' was done, the whole town would go "oh that's just those old so and so's, their grandaddy was the same way". But this time two children were murdered! If this is what is happening, the town needs to step up and bring these people to justice!
sorry for rambling!
