oh rachel,
I just read about it online.I'm so terribly sorry. It's awful. There's hardly anything I could say at a time like this. All I've ever concluded after these sorts of tragedies in the past, is that we just aren't meant to know the "why" of it all.
I'm praying for you and all your friends' family and friends. Your community there must be devastated, but I hope somehow you and can find a little comfort and strength in each other's presence.
Of course it seems unthinkable now, but eventually you will get through this dark time. (((((rach))))

((((((rach)))))) I am so sorry for your unbelieveable loss. I read about it, and it is so very sad. You will get through this, you are stong, but it will be hard. I will be thinking of you.

I am so sorry! That is devastating! I don't know how people manage to get through tragedies like this. But I wouldn't even try to think about that at this point. Right now just try to concentrate on getting through the next second, then the next one, and so on. Time will help you heal, but first you've got to get through the grieving. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry Rubenstein.
You've suffered a tremendous loss. You're probably in shock right now. I hope you have someone to be with you during this difficult time.
You're in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry. What a horrible shock and terrible loss. You're in my thoughts.
> I don't know how to get through this tragedy
> rachTalk to people. That's what the literature says, anyway. It helps to talk to people you care about, who care about you, who knew those lost, and/or anyone who is a good listener and can be there for you. Talk to us if it helps.
And make sure you're taking some time to take care of yourself. Be selfish and do what you need to do to get through this.
If you can, observe and honor all the emotions that come out with this, and they may feel like they're all over the place, bottled up or overwhelming. I don't know when or otherwise how, but it will get easier in time.
But I'm sure it's really awful right now. I'm sorry.

This is one of those times where you want to ask "Why does such awful stuff happen in the world?" I wish that I knew. This is so tragic and I'm sorry that it has touched your life so profoundly.
Although it is hard to believe right now, someday it won't hurt as much as it does at this moment. The pain won't go away, but it will lessen. Give yourself time and space.
((Rach))
Best,
EE

We are singing Beethoven's Ninth symphony in their honor tonight. I don't know how I will get through it. Thanks to all for your thoughts, I wish I could respond individually but I am living somewhere else and have limited computer access. Thanks for your support
