Hi Shirley. Everything serves a higher purpose, although many times, we don’t understand that purpose until we cross over. It’s even possible that it’s part of a life plan. If that’s the case, whoever the victim is agreed to it before they incarnated. It’s possible to not follow the life plan, but if an act of violence is not in the life plan, our Guardians can usually protect us in different ways, whether it’s triggering our intuition to warn us of danger or, in some way, upsetting the plan.
This is hard to grasp, I know. I would never tell someone violent actions are okay, because they aren’t, but I know there are reasons for everything that happens. It could be a way to learn a life lesson for someone involved.
Hope that helps. Blessings!
