Yesterday was too much. In a span of an hour, we learned about two tragedies affecting two families from my high school. Four lives have been lost and countless others are changed forever because of it. Words fail me here.
Knowing what to say or do in times like these is impossible, but I find this short piece by Brené Brown to be tremendously helpful in discerning the difference between sympathy and empathy.
“Rarely can a response make something better. What makes something better is a connection.”
