Community Grief

We are shocked, outraged, and pained and want to acknowledge the tragedy and horror in Texas at the Robb Elementary School. This is now about grief in families, in multiple classrooms, a school, an entire community, and the nation. The grief that ensues from this touches everyone. The impact on parents, siblings, and classmates is forever. When this happens in one place, it is a reminder that we must share our grief, help others feel and talk as they are ready, never forget, and together, forge a path forward to end this senseless violence.

El dolor que sigue al tiroteo en Robb Elementary toca a todos. Cuando esto sucede en un lugar, es un recordatorio de que debemos compartir nuestro dolor, ayudar a otros a sentir y hablar cuando estén listos, nunca olvidar y juntos, forjar un camino para terminar con esta violencia sin sentido.
