From the Office of Mrs. Hill
In times like these we are having many feelings of grief. We are grieving for the victims and families of Robb Elementary, we are grieving for the world we wished and/or hope we live in, and we are reflecting on our own personal grief. Here are some things that we can do for ourselves and for each other:
- Express your grief and listen to those around you as they express theirs.
- Remember, we all grieve differently. Not everyone experiences collective grief with the same intensity.
- Engage with others, even if only online. The antidote to isolation is community.
- Think local. The communities that are affected directly have resources nearby in the short term. What can you do in your home, neighborhood, and town?
- Think small. Sometimes a hug can mean everything at times like these. Bake cookies. Pick flowers. Say hello to your neighbors. Call a friend.
- Self-care. How are you taking care of yourself?
- Take media breaks. The news can be overwhelming. Get outside. Move your body. Take a deep breath.
