I am certain that the reality of the loss has become even more devastating for the families of the victims. What can we do today to assist them in this painful adjustment to losses beyond imagination? Nothing can bring their loved ones back, but continued attempts to prevent future mass murders may bring some sense of meaning. Today I will again write the president and all my elected officials and plead with them to not merely make profound announcements and then move on. We cannot merely weep, but must address every aspect connected with the ever increasing number of murders in our land. Guns are only part of the necessary plan, and it is time to fully examine how we treat mental health and the needs of those who suffer from mental difficulties.
