The tragedies unfolding in my town are so awful.

The tragedies unfolding in my town are so awful. The weather events of the last couple of days caused dozens of landslides - I can see several from my house. One in my neighbourhood claimed two lives, one at the beach is still unfolding: two bodies recovered so far, with six more missing, some of them kids.
I know I can't do anything useful, I need to get on with *things*, but I keep getting mental flashes of how it must be for those families. For those kids. I can't bear it.@essjax

From the epicenter of disasters, Chch NZ, I can only say that we know all too well about this sort of situation

@essjax Sometimes I find I just need to be a witness to big things. Not in person, but hanging in there as the news comes through in silent solidarity. It’s a vigil.
@thirzajane this makes good sense. Thank you.

I can't bear it.It is hard to comprehend - when solid ground isn’t solid any more. And yes there’s something even more awful about kids on holiday. Sending hugs 🫂

It is such a devastating situation, and so hard to watch helplessly as others go through such grief. Much love to you and all your community. -
