I see the direction you're coming from Tishie. I'm not saying a person can't feel redemption or justice in a wrong doers death - I'm not one of those Polly Anna forgive all type of person. What I'm trying to say is, it places us in an 'evil' place ourselves and not in a place for healing. I don't think it spiritually enriches us - it set us backwards as human beings. I read an article today about a 911 widow and she wrote how this celebrating just sets us further away from healing - she's feeling somber reflection.

As you probably know Tishie I despise abusers and probably might kill one if it ever happened to my child - that may sound like a contradiction of what I'm trying to get across. I have nothing against justice I just wouldn't do a happy dance after wards. It doesn't help in over all healing and makes us more like the evil person. If you were to celebrate your abusers death, I suspect it would confirm his evil affect on you and ultimately you want to heal from him. I hope this makes sense.
