Tears of grief for victims, inhumanity
In her Front Porch column this week, Cindy Hval reacts to news of yet another mass murder in this country:
It’s not unheard of for me to write a column through tear-swollen eyes. After all, a personal column is, well, personal. In this space, I’ve written about the sudden death of my beloved father-in-law, the near-death of my youngest son, the gut-wrenching ache of a child moving many states away, and the horrific murders of school children and teachers in Newtown, Connecticut. I am a woman, a writer, a mother, a daughter, and a wife, and I view the world from those interchangeable lenses. On Sunday morning, all of those lenses were clouded with tears as I woke to the news of the massacre in Orlando, Florida. More here.
Question: How do you process these ongoing, senseless mass murders in this country?
