    This is not the US. This is not normal here.

    I don’t know what to even do, I feel every emotion at once, none of them good.

    I didn’t even know anyone of the people who died or were hurt… and I can’t even possibly imagine the grief the parents, friends and partners are going through.

    If this happened to my friends… my sister? My girlfriend? I don’t even want to think what I would have done.

      It might be helpful to try to organize those thoughts on your loved ones into something constructive?

      If it has made you face the mortality of your loved ones, perhaps write them letters about how important they are to you, and how this event has damaged you but also helped you uncover how strongly you care for them.

      You’re on an emotional rollercoaster. I’m sure they are, too. Telling them how much you mean to them can spark a conversation that may help you both process your feelings on the matter.

      Know that it is very normal what you are feeling right now, to be hurt, sad, angry, confused and every other emotion. Hopefully a shared moment of grief will be organized. Go there, join in grief with your fellow students and give a hug to whoever needs it. It might not feel like it yet, but it will help.
