When I was in the second grade, the OKC bombing rattled the windows of my school. The teacher left us to go find out what it was, and never came back. We went to the next classroom in search of an adult, she had a television on, and we all sat and watched live news footage of mangled children being pulled out of the building’s daycare. I was 7.
You can’t let it get to you though. Mourn them, yes, but neglecting yourself won’t bring them back. You still deserve to pursue life and happiness, despite terrible things happening in the world.
