I can't stop crying.

How could anyone do this?  My heart is breaking for those poor people.

I'm with you... I've been super weepy the last couple of days, but now I'm pretty much inconsolable...

You know, I feel the same. I have a 10 year old nephew and i'm pregnant with my first child. What if it had been my little one. They said that the children that were safe were praying to not die because they had to make it to christmas.. The guy was a coward to walk in with a bullet proof vest and 4 guns. He was sick, to be honest these shootings are happening more often and I think since people are abusing their rights then it needs to be taken away. They need to do extreme background checks on these people to make sure this doesn't happen again! How sick he was! I hope his soul suffers forever.

I'm with you. I just can't understand why anyone would ever do this. I am keeping those families in my thoughts and prayers.

I made the mistake of reading some news stories online at work. Had to stop because it was making me so upset. I just don't get it! My heart goes out to all the families with children at that school.

As I contemplate what happened from different angles I just find myself crying over and over again today. Poor babies, poor mommies and daddies and siblings...it's too overwhelming.

Same here, Bliss. I can't imagine what it is like to be a parent of a child in Newtown, CT right now.

This morning I was upset  & crying about something, & after I saw this on the news, it makes all of my "problems" seem so trivial. My heart is broken for these people. I am afraid to raise a child in such an ugly world. I am at a loss for any other words...

I was there the day of the Virginia Tech tragedy and lost my cousin and a college friend. The shooter had us locked with chains inside the building and to this day I always look for exit strategies in a closed room if I need to escape again.  I was an adult in that experience...I cannot imagine going through that trauma as a child.

 

Thoughts and prayers to those families who have a very long journey ahead of them

I can't even wrap my head around it. My family lives in that part of CT, I just thank god they don't go to that school. Who does something like this? This man not only shot those innocent babies, but his own mother too. I just pray for everyone involved.

It just pisses me off. That soulless piece of Sh**! like most people, I'm not FOR suicide, but if you feel like offing yourself, fine. Just leave other people out of it, especially innocent children. Personally, I'm not very religious. But I hope there IS a hell, so that evil bastard actually gets the punishment he deserves. I've cried over ice cream commercials but I haven't cried from this. I have yelled and slammed things a lot today, though. I just don't understand what makes a person do something so cruel and heartless.

I just had my moment of crying about this. This honestly scares me about bringing a child into this crazy world. I can't even imagine the pain of the parents of these children. You send your children to school for an education, not to duck and dodge bullets. It's sick.

WTF?!  What are we supposed to do with our kids if we can't even send them to school?  My heart breaks for those families and the community.  I also cannot even begin to imagine what those first responders, paramedics, police officers, etc. have seen today.  No one will ever be the same.  So sad.

I live in Portland, Oregon. We've been walking around in a daze all week, now this! I thought I'd be weepy but really I'm just mad. I keep thinking these suicidal mass murderers should have the guts to die alone instead of killing innocent people and children. I don't understand what could possibly have gone so wrong in your life that you'd feel this was an option.

I'm so afraid of the world I'm bringing my baby into...

I volunteer in an elementary school and sometimes get to spend time in the classes.  The little ones are always so sweet and so excited to have a visitor in the room.  It just is killing me to think of how terrified they must have been realizing what was happening and wanting their mommies and daddies.  I don't know how anyone could see those sweet faces and do that to them.

Me, neither. I have been a mess since I heard the news this afternoon. Saw a school bus, sobbed. Heard a Christmas song, sobbed. I just can't take thinking about any of it. Those kids were just babies...breaks my heart to think about how terrified they were. And those poor parents. How do you ever recover from something like that? It's just horrific.

I've been a mess today after hearing this. They just said a little while ago they had the parents in a firehouse nearby and over the course of the day they would bring in groups of kids to reunite with their parents and then when they brought in the last bit of kids they announced there weren't anymore students and there was just open wailing sobbing. I pray I never have to know what that would feel like.

Thoughts and prayers to those families who have a very long journey ahead of them

I am so disturbed by the events of today. While I think of all the families in CT I want to send my condolences to you too - what an unthinkable tragedy you went through as well. I cannot wrap my head around what people are capable of doing.

I had to stop reading the stories at work yesterday because I was getting too emotional.  I cried at the way home but got myself together for the company Christmas party, then cried again after I left.  This morning I find myself fighting tears again.

I have no doubt it would've gotten me upset before, but now that I'm pregnant the story was so much more personal.  I saw the grief of those parents and my heart shattered.
