I have read and seen so much pain in last few days that I feel it as a physical weight and can not sleep for having unwanted images.

I didn't want to talk about it but now feel I have to let some of it out.

A tragedy of such depravity is beyond comprehension. I close my eyes and see their faces.

I abhor any person that claims this was their god's will to punish man and yet still follow that god.

If there is a god I reject him although at times like this I wish there was a hell.

If eternal salvation is holy compensation for the innocents lost then why isnt eternal damnation ample punishment rather than this suffering.

America, how can you stand by and let groups like NRA and WBC cannibalise your country?

I can not begin to understand the feelings of those left behind and can not imagine how they will move forward.

What words can express the deep despair I feel for them or the want I have to find words that could comfort them.

Completely agree Hun...this weekend has been tough for me...I've tried writing out but I feel such sorrow for people I've not met, grieving for children that are not my own. Last week I heard about a man who raped a baby girl and she died of her injuries, then on Facebook a video of a woman hitting her baby, the cruelty devastated me, I was in tears and shaking. I reported it before finding out that the video is nearly a year old, the woman is in prison and her daughter in foster care, then the Newtown shootings and Syrias problems ongoing I simply cannot watch the news...there is good and bad in the world but all I see and hear are the vilest of things...as a sensitive person it affects me, I think about it all the time, cry, can't sleep, feel guilt...I totally get this heartfelt write Hun I truly do and forgive my rambling as its still emotive for me too.

@misslittleDHP I'm with you I've stayed away from tv as best I can. So much happening and I can't help but empathise and do the 'what if'. πŸ’ͺ

@misslittleDHP the westboro church saying they will picket the funerals has a large part of me wanting to join those ready to stop that happening

It's just all so sad. I've wrote a couple if posts but I just can't understand it all. It saddens me deeply and enrages me at the same time. I try and stay away from news now but this is just too tragic. πŸ˜”
