😭😩🥵 Thank you for articulating all of our pain, Lindsey. A women’s mourning march seems so fitting (and we allies would like to join). Also electing women, as in Michigan, to end patriarchal insanity.

I have a confession also. These events hurt my heart so badly that I can’t bear to watch the TV coverage. I feel guilty as though I owe it to the victims to watch and grieve for them, but I can’t watch it. 😭

Completely understandable. And I think grieving can happen without secondhand trauma!

I have barely begun to process the grief of the last few weeks. So much rage and pain. Thank you for writing this.
