I have a cousin who was at the Bataclan and she hasn’t been accounted for or gotten in contact with anyone yet. I am praying so hard that she is okay. This heinous and senseless killing is hurting and breaking my spirit.

Oh my god, Rebecca, I am so sorry and hope that your cousin turns up. You are not alone in your heartbreak and devastation about what is happening in this world.

Rebecca, I'm sending you warm spirit healing thoughts, and the hope that your cousin is safe.

[Crankin]

Hoping that you hear some positive news, Rebecca. I can't imagine what you are going through.

[OakLeaf]

Oh Rebecca. Hugs and healing thoughts to you and all affected in Paris, Calais and Beirut. Hope your cousin is safe.

You've probably already looked at the check-in page Facebook has put up, but here's the link anyway. https://www.facebook.com/safetycheck/paris_terror_attacks/

Saw this horror this morning while reading the news. Crossing fingers that you cousin shows up as soon as she can.

Sending you hugs and hopeful thoughts.

[emily_in_nc]

I hope you hear something soon, Rebecca. :-(

[Catrin]

Hope you hear soon Rebecca, and that the news is good!

[rebeccaC]

Thank you for all the kind words. These are hard words to write….she was identified as one of the victims.

I’m leaving in a few hours to be with family in France and help them and myself deal with this. I know life is fragile….but the senseless circumstances around this loss and so many others tears even more at my heart and soul. It is beyond my comprehension why people are so motivated to kill innocent others in the name of any cause.

[rocknrollgirl]

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

[emily_in_nc]

I am so very sorry, Rebecca! Even though I don't know you other than from the forum, you are my closest connection to the senseless tragedy in Paris, and you have just made it much more real to me. My heart breaks for you and your family.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost their lives to this senseless killing of hate. We ask why? Why kill those not responsible for the senseless war? No one has the answer, only the sorrow and sadness of the loss.

There is much more I wish to say... But I will say this, The lives lost should not be vain, and we need to come to realization that war and violence is not the answer. AND we need to let our voices heard that war is not the answer. It only begets misery. Children are not born to hate, nor are they born to kill fellow man. All of us need to stop glorifying war and killing. Be it in Hollywood movies, video games or in extremist branch of Muslim, Hindu, Christian religion. Violence to end violence is not the answer nor is it the way.

Let us not allow this senseless violence to fill our heart with hate but instead, let us remember those who have lost their lives and the joy they brought into the world. Remember that was good about them.

Words really can not say the sorrow I feel for the loss.

My condolence for your loss.

Peace be with you Rebecca,

[emily_in_nc]

That was a beautiful post, smiling cat. I wish I could broadcast it all over Facebook. I am seeing some very hateful comments being made out there. I don't want to politicize this thread, so I will just say that I wish everyone thought like you.

[BikeDutchess]

So sad to read this news. My condolences to you and your family, Rebecca.

[ny biker]

I'm so sorry Rebecca. Condolences to your family.

[kernowcyclist]

Oh no, Rebecca, I'm so sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you xx

[Pax]

Rebecca, you are in my thoughts often. You are one of the most compassionate caring people here on TE and it breaks my heart to think of your suffering; just know that as your pain fades there is still good in this world and while this makes zero sense, hope and love and compassion will win out.

[VeganBikeChick]

Sending you & your family my deepest sympathies, Rebecca.

Dear Rebecca, I skipped this thread for a day because I was experiencing an overload from the news- but then I saw your post was personal. I am so deeply sorry for you and your family and all of the innocent people killed and injured in these attacks. I hope you will find strength and love among your family in this terrible tragedy. Sending hugs.
