After a mass shooting, people can try to cope by acknowledging and processing their emotions, supporting the victims, taking action if that’s personally important, and striving to live meaningfully and mindfully. To reflect on how to live meaningfully, people can think about whether they exercise care and compassion toward others, spend enough time with loved ones, practice gratitude for what they have, take risks and challenge themselves, define their purpose and goals, and take care of themselves on a regular basis.
