Why children?
Seems like everytime I turn on the tv something horrible is happening in Russia. This week was the planes crashing, a suicide bomber and then all those children held hostage. Yesterday I was horrified by the images of children and teens emerging from that building half dressed and looking so shellshocked.Yet another rescue mission gone horribly wrong following on the disaster in the theatre.
I feel for the parents of those dead children. How horrible it must be to bury your child. It is so against the natural order of things as children are supposed to bury parents not the other way around. And how does the family go on after such a tragic event? There is probably so much blame that goes around at times like these.
And how do the survivors continue with their lives? True, children are resilient but going through that kind of ordeal is bound to leave some scars. I can only hope that they will get the necessary help that is needed to help them to move on.
