There are simply no words to express the heaviness our community is feeling as we begin to process another tragedy. To the family, friends, classmates, teachers, and community members who are mourning these precious lives that were taken from us too soon, you are in our thoughts. We mourn with you—as a community, and as neighbours.
We recognize that many in our community are struggling to process this loss. Grief can bring with it so many emotions, especially when so sudden and so close on the heels of those lost tragically in the Walkerton community. Please know that there is no right or wrong way to feel, there is no right way to grieve, and you do not have to walk through this alone. Continue to stand with and lean on one another with compassion and unity as we all begin to navigate this shared sorrow and continue to move through the coming days, weeks and months as the shock wears off.
If you are struggling, please reach out. Whether it be to a friend, teacher, family member, therapist, or someone else you trust, connection is so important in times like these.
For current, past, and new clients, please know that I have last-minute appointments and extended hours available. Please feel free to reach out for more information.
