The lives of 31 families were shattered last Saturday. There have been 112 people killed in 32 mass shootings so far in 2019, the second worst in a ten-year history.

Deep loss is ugly & hard. The grief can be hard to handle if you are the one carrying it, and it can be hard to know how to help if you know someone else who is grieving.
