Yes, i think its a good thing that she's sharing her experience with others because maybe a few of the things she has to say can help the survivors of the VT shooting to cope with the huge emotional load that theyre going to be carrying. I'm really not sure wat it would be like to be in her position; its one of those things i figure you have to go through to truly understand.
i think its good that she is sharing her experience because its a horrible tragedy and i think more people should share what they went through and how they feel to help with the emotional aspect of all the losses.
I think that she is definatley doing the right thing by sharing her experience with others. i Think that i would be traumatized for a long period of time, ifanythign like VT or Columbine happend to me. I would be paranoid, and once i at least somewhat overcame it, i would share my story with others as well.
Yea i think it it is good for her to share her experience with others because her advice or her stories may help others cope. I don't really know her situation because i wasn't the one who went threw it so i think i would have to go through it to understand
its a good thing that she is sharing with the VT victims due to the fact that shes been through it and knows whats its like and can help them not forget but learn to move on. I have not the slightest clue what it would be like in her position because i havent been through anythnig like that and until i do (hope not) i wont know.
i do think she is doing the right thing by sharing her experiences because some people actually listen to those such things and they take it in and take it to the heart. it may help them in the long run. i dont think i would ever be able to even imagine what she had to go through.
I don't think any of us could possibly comprehend what each of the survivors are going through if we have not gone through it ourselves. But, yes, she is doing the right thing in extending her wisdom to others, and hopefully they will take comfort in the fact that they are not alone in this.
I agree that she is doing the right thing by sharing her experience with others. I hope that every time she does, she can feel a little less burdened. I don't know how I would deal with the situation had I been through something like Columbine. I do, however, know that my life would be dramatically changed and my outlook on life might also be affected.
I think that it is excellent she is trying to help people that are in this tragic situation. This is a worldwide known event and people that have suffered from this terrible event need guidance. If I went through a situation like this, I would try and help people from the things that I had experienced.
I think it is a good thing for not only the ones she shared her story with but also so she can heal herself. Sharing really helps in situations like these not only for the victim but for her audince as well. It helps them share in her pain and understand her and the other victims as well and makes it easier for her to be helped. Also, I really think that people need to hear what the victims of this tragidie went through.
Its a great thing in what she is doing. By sharing her story she is showing care for those at VT and helping with what they went through. I have no idea what i would do if i was in that position. Its one of those things that you just don't think it will happen to you.
