quote from article:

'In 26 years as the Tulsa police and fire chaplain, Danny Lynchard has made more than 1,000 death notifications, including for homicides and other unexpected deaths such as suicides and traffic accidents. Yet, he said, it still shocked him to consider the human toll of more than 500 homicides during the last decade.

Lynchard ranks homicide as the most traumatic death experience for families to endure, with suicide and fatal fires second and third.

"It is so unexpected. It's not natural for that to happen," he said. "It destroys their world, and they no longer live in a safe world anymore.

"All the things they live their life based on are challenged - even their faith in God." '
