No longer knowing what to say. In less than twenty hours, the AAPl community has already been exposed to the news of two mass casualty occurrences. People have only started to mourn, and already the grief is compounding.

Regardless of the assailants', ethnicity, circumstances or details: Hate is still real. Pain is still real. The loss of innocent lives is real. And the fact that guns continue to be a Common denominator is still very real.

For those who want to qualify our collective grief with "but. or "it's not this because of that," Turge you to put down your blas and pick up empathy. Families lost loved ones. There is no space to qualify the Conditiorns under which this kind of grief is "acceptable" to those who are not grieving. Grief is grief is grief.

There is space for listening. There is space for checking in. Ihere is space for gentleness. Ihere is Space for support. There is space for griet. There is space for mouning. Ihere is space for honoring VIctims There is just space. Creating space. To those who can't string words together, or have too many to say, ..see you. We see each other.
