Well, I have to go back to school today

[Midnightwolf1]

My anxiety is high right now and so is all my other emotions. I'm so scared that people are still talking about the shooting or that they figured out who they are to me and is going to try to talk to me. I also know that there are people there who don't know how to keep their mouth shut cause some people love to talk bad or mean about stuff like that. If I hear something bad about My little cousin or my Uncle or even my Uncles girlfriend who got shot, I think I might just blow up on them. I just want today to be somewhat normal.....

I'm so sorry Midnightwolf. What a terrible loss for your family. I hope that your classmates and teachers will surprise you, they may be sympathetic and only want to express their condolences. I hope your family finds peace.

I am so very very sorry for the loss you and your family have suffered. It sounds as if you were very close to your cousin. What a senseless act it was that took these 3 wonderful people from you. How did your first (and second and third) day back at school go? Try to ignore the people who might talk about the shooting - trust me, they'll be onto the next big thing soon. Did your friends enjoy the cookies you baked? I will be saying a special prayer that you find some comfort in the funeral tomorrow (Yes, I went back and read all your posts the last several days!). The grief process is hard and it can be like a wave that suddenly breaks over on top of you and knocks you down -- just roll with it and you'll eventually find some peace and healing from this terrible tragedy.
