Among the heartbreaking tragedies created by the 7/7 London bombings, Julie Nicholson's stood out. The tragic loss of her daughter Jenny, 24, a gifted musician, left Julie questioning her role as a vicar, and ultimately deciding to step down, unable to forgive her daughter's killers Jenny Nicolson was travelling to work when a bomb exploded at Edgware Road Tube station. Her mother, Reverend Julie Nicholson, struggled to comprehend the tragedy, her sorrow and longing for her daughter turning to rage and anger. Finding herself unable to articulate the three parts of the Eucharist: peace, reconciliation and forgiveness, because she 'felt so far from those herself', Julie made the difficult decision to resign her role as priest-in-charge of St Aidan with St George Church, Bristol, unable to reconcile her feelings with her position. She continued working with the church, in a youth arts project.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    If this was fiction I could say how well this is written. How there are descriptive passages with a beauty all their own. True, but this is not a literary work, this is the gut reaction to an actual event. This is a Mother sharing with us the stark reality of unimaginable horror and grief. Jenny was murdered by the terrorist bomber at Edgware Street Station in the London bombing of 7/7 2005 Almost a moment by moment account of the hope, then the despair of that time. A harrowing yet compulsive read. As I write, the inquest is being held in London and the families are suffering yet again as they hear the details of what happened.
