Uh, if any of you are triggered by violence, then it's probably not a good idea to read farther.

So, a family friend who lives in the Middle East just got beheaded by the terrorist group ISIS.

We're all in shock and prayers for both us and their loved ones (and of course, them) would be very much appreciated...

Thank you.

Wow. I think I'll add the content warning to the thread title; that's horrific.

(((HarpingHawke))) May they ascend, and may their loved ones be comforted.

Oh, wow. I can't even imagine how jarring that is. :I

May s/he live on, both in the afterlife, and in the hearts and minds of his/her loved ones. <3

I'm SO sorry!  This is a tragedy far beyond words.

FWIW, you, your family and friends, and -- of course -- the victim and their family are most assuredly in my thoughts.
