I think my question was not about forgiveness. It makes sense that one must overcome the trauma and pain one feels, and release it through forgiveness. Forgiving even the ultimate evil these poor people face can, however be a monumental task if the victims' lives were taken violently. That is where my question lies.....
Can victims of these unthinkable crimes lose their panic and negative emotions on crossing over, quickly enough to embrace love and forgiveness? I know there is no one "set" answer to this quesiton, but it seems to be important.
Nice answers though, for what was said.

hi Doc recently I wrote an article and felt I had to put it up on myspace, of similar violent circumstance involving a young college boy as the perpetrator against his parent. I observed in my mind, the slain father's body had risen, his heart still pumping blood, but his spirit had vacated the premises, as that can be the only explanation for after having received enough hatchet blows to the head, you get up and start putting the dishes away, and then he finally died, the body died.
I have observed a few stories here and there of early departure of a spirit, while the body still lives robotic like status. so I am assuming we all have guides, and that the girls inner, essence is allowed to blink out during too much violence.
it comforts my sense of outrage to think so anyway.
in regards to this same context I think of Cami, an extremely lucid retrieval, she was 16 and I as retriever could only sense the tragic circumstances, and since I wasn't there to dig into her mind, but only to gain her attention, I didn't press for details, but I sensed rape and murder were a part of that.
after death she was disposed to areas in the astral, the counterparts of happier conditions, a school with peers. the pleasure she had known there, she tried to return to. a brief question and answer session with her I can describe, it may help you to reduce your level of outrage:
beginnings: I observe a depressed teen slink in and take a seat within the gymnasium rec room.
I briefly consider my role as mother spirit and take a form throwing myself at her feet asking for attention.
she smiles and reaches to pet me on the head coming up briefly from her troubles and confusion. she remembers nothing that is too difficult to remember. a shock. there is a blinking out of memories, so that she will remember only when she is prepared to deal with it.
what is you name? I ask. Cami she says.
How do u spell that I ask.
She tells me.
How old are you? I ask
16 she says.
where is your family I ask.
then I tell her my family is small, is hers also small?
I have an aunt she says, brightening to recall the love she has for her aunt.
where is your aunt? I ask
A cloud comes over her face as confusion again arises. I see her mind, I see a boyfriend of the aunt is involved in some tragedy.
Spirit tell me back off, you are not a psychoanalyst right at this time.
we are entering dangerous territory and guides assistance is immediately needed to take Cami with them, as does happen, there were 5 or 6 of her peers entered at just the right time, before I could probe any deeper.
since I had her attention, it was easy to lead her to the guides whom she could not see at first, I just shifted my gaze to them and she followed my attention and they received her into their care.
The PUL had made us one, so that the shift could occur and the retrieval be accomplished.

I'm not going to mention forgiveness as the others have mentioned the importance of it. forgiveness clears the way for PUL though. she was not at a place to even know of this tool yet. theres one other story Alan Watts mentions of two men who ran each other through, exiting the body at the same time, floating upwards in their spirit forms, they continued fighting until they both burst out laughing as they finally noticed after much further "running thru" nobody was dropping.
I imagine they then made their way to their appropriate classroom and an alternative solution perhaps to settling one's differences other than the sword.
all in all, it is we, who are left, that suffer the most when these tragedies occur. I studied the senselessness of the holocaust in this vein for many years and concluded there are sacrificial spirits who have that in their intentions for incarnating, as I believe the jews did; it was for us to wake up then as a whole humanity, so we could get past the way that we have become a warring planet which must change each one in their heart to decide, no, I won't kill anymore, nor harm life.
and its true as a healer, what you are, you have to do your part to focus on mending the others and eventually we all have to mend each other.
