Yeah it was very tough on THEM and THEIR families but they didn't back off and gave their lives away fighting against the evil.
Yes prayers are for the ones who have lost their lives, they surely are at a very better place but we believe we should still pay our tributes to them and remember them at least on the days.
Plus the activities include offering food to the poor and needy, arranging seminars where they describe the incident and tell everyone how They fought for the good against the bad.
Am glad she is getting back to routine life :) Say hi to her and tell her that she will be fine soon
