[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question for OP. There are thousands of innocent people die every day for various reasons - war, hunger, natural events (like Tx). Why is this hitting you harder than other needleless deaths? Is it because it happened here in US? [/quote]

DP and there are lots of brutal stories about the floods that go into great detail about parents losing their children; I just read one about a dad who lost his two daughters and it was gut-wrenching. There’s a 24 hour news cycle, and this story has been the focus.

I understand how OP feels. Its impact on me is that I’m just keenly, keenly aware that all we have is today, and I just try to ground myself in the moment. There are times that the fragility of life makes me fret over my kids’ safety a bit more, and I imagine if I’m not careful, my anxiety will impact my kids (like last night I was lecturing them that they must never take a shower during a storm, but I was probably over-the-top about it)…it’s hard.[/quote]
