Stages

Just caught a brief ABC segment on the tragedy at Virginia Tech yesterday. The compairison was made to other communities that have seen tragedies on a mass scale like VA Tech. First, the community is shocked(duh). Second, denial and grief. All through the range of emotions until, hopefully, there is acceptance and empowerment for change-a change that will help prevent another something horrible from occurring. My wish is for the citizens of Virginia and the Virginia Tech. community to get to the emotion where there is a desire to change and do positive works. And again, good energies and prayers for the families and friends of the victims.
