I think about how this could happen to anyone, anywhere. This also makes me think about the heart-broken parents and family members of the victims. I think this could have been pervented. I know that it is kind of hard to involve people who aren't like you and your friends, but if we all tried, it might just work. As I said before, my love, thoughts, and prayers go out to the families and friends of the vicitms.
Death is a terrible thing to cope with.
I have also lost someone very close to me, my mother. One thing I have figured out is that it gets better and you are able to except the fact that they are no longer with you phsically, but spiritually they are there. I can only begin to imagine the horror you are living with. Grieving a tragedy is a process- my heart goes out to all of you. To all the students, faculty, families of students.
