In my worst imagination, I just can't wrap my mind around precious little 5 year old children being gunned down or what their parents must be going through. Yes, there is something worse than AD.
I mentor kids of their ages. Many won't understand that death is forever and that their friends won't be coming back. Such a tragic loss of innocence at such a young age. I used to think nothing was as bad as losing our spouse. Parents shouldn't have to bury their children.
.....As Dazed says it is worse than AD....But the main difference between this teagedy and AD is that something can be done about this, and it dosn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what that is.
My prayers are with all of those that lost their children.
Unfortunately I know how they feel today and for a long time to come. I lost my first son at a very young age also. Not to a shooting but one day he was part of my life and the next day he was not. It is not an easy thing to get over. For two years after work my first stop was the grave yard. And if that isn't enough those who lost their first child may have attachment problems with their next child. I was scared to become attached to my second son for several years and then I had lost a lot of the bonding that develops during those first few years. We care about each other greatly today but I lost a part of my second sons life along with the loose of my first son. Time does help but even now I get choked up just typing about it. The pain never goes away.
