Angels Among Us: Helping Parents Talk About Tragedies with their Kids

Angels in heaven....

Newtown, Connecticut, December 14th, 2012 will be a place and date that will not be forgotten.

The grief we feel as parents and as a country is overwhelming as you read the list of the deceased and look at the ages, it brings tears to your eyes.

The teachers and the principal that lost their lives by doing their job, protecting their children, are heroes and now they are also angels.

During  this holiday season, I can't help but feel such a deep feeling of loss for their families too - I am grateful they all seem to have a deep faith, as I believe faith can help us through these tragedies, however they all need our prayers.  My God bless all the families and the community of Newtown, as even the survivors will need our prayers and support.

In loving memory:

May God bless the families of Newtown....
