Aside from profound sadness, the feelings of powerlessness and helplessness sum up how I feel, and these feelings probably resonate in most people as well.
Why powerlessness? Because no one truly will ever know how to help these families recover from such severe trauma. The experts and doctors cannot undo the empty bedrooms, and restore the laughter that is now silenced. Their lives are shattered.
Why helplessness? Because as unspeakable as this tragedy is, we all know this will not be the last. We are being naive if we believe otherwise. Security systems, gun control laws etc... cannot stop an individual if that individual is determined to inflict harm.
I always believe that the feelings of pain magnifies exponentially, when that pain is being inflicted on someone you truly love. It is why a child's passing is the greatest pain of all. The child bears the hearts of the father and mother, and all the hearts have stopped beating.
My thoughts are with you.
