It was tragic .. and that's sad.  .. Just because you don't know someone personally does not mean you can't feel for them. Hope you feel better after talking about it.  |

No, don't feel weird...that would really bother me, too. Sounds like she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. That is very sad.  |

It maybe because usually when you're watching the news and they talk all about the crime stories all over the city, and this and that, you never really know or recognize anyone in any of the stories. And this time you did, even though you may not have known her personally, just for the simple fact that you knew who she was. I feel for you. I hope you feel better! *hugs*  |

What you're feeling is grief... you are obviously a compassionate person and you feel a connection to this woman having had her within your proximity so many times. You don't need to know someone or talk with them to connect with them on some level. It's someone you recognize and knew about and you are responding with a sense of loss. Don't suppress these emotions and or feel they're meaningless. This just means you have a heart that able to be touched. That's awesome! God Bless  |

I agree with Pacific Soul. There is nothing wrong with being sad because someone was killed that you have recognized , but didn't really know. These things are always a shock to all of us when they happen... even when we don't know them. I wish there were more people like you in the world! How terribly sad that someone can hit someone with a truck and not even have the decency to stop and call an ambulance. I hope you feel better too hon.  |

I dont watch the news often because I will sit there and cry and cry real tears for people I dont know...it sounds silly but with the gift of empathy its painful on a day to day basis if you dont learn to refrain from the papers and news. Grieving for a person that you have contact with but dont really know is very commendable your sensitive about other people..yes, there should be more of you in this world. Also, I have been watching "medium" because I wanted to see how closely that they portray a person with such gifts and see if they play it up for tv and I have to tell you...what you see them airing is very real in the life of mediums. I am totally surprised at the accuracy of there portrayal.  |

I agree with pacific soul. When i went to a girl's funeral, she had gone to my school, I cried and cried and I had only ever talkd to her once or twice. Embrace your feelings  *hugs* Ghost-chick  |

Hon. it is sad even though you didn't know her - I feel bad about about it too because her is a young woman murdered (murdered because a hit and run is so senseless.They could have stopped and offered help) Hugs.  |
