DON'T WANT TO HEAR About Grieving & Healing Anymore. "Thought & Prayers." It Is Phony.

[TheMastersNemesis]

You don't heal after these massacres. You only grieve in the end and it lasts a lifetime for many or most victims. The scars are permanent and indelible. So the healing is bullshit and here is why such a cliche is so absurd.

If you are dead, then all you will ever be or ever experience is just gone. Period. If you are a friend, associate or family member you have lost all future relationship and possibilities forever. You have lost their love and you have lost the experience of their life in your life. If you are a parent you have lost the marriages and grandchildren that would have resulted. You have lost sharing life experiences, joys and sadnesses that bond families. There are holes that will never be filled.

Now parents will face empty rooms and empty chairs and empty birthdays and empty spaces. They will feel the spirit gone from their presence every day. The song from Les Miserables' comes to mind. LISTEN to in on Youtube. It is so damned true.

If you were wounded and hurt you have lost personal peace and joy. And if you are disabled you will carry the results of those wounds far into the future. There will current and ongoing medical bills and there will be disabilities you cannot breach. Your life will be altered permanently. In some cases your existence and care will be very long term depending on what happened to your body.

Now for all those people who were effected you will move on and live on. But even all your joys and accomplishments will still be diminished by what happened to you. Somewhere in your heart there will be sadness and loss and it will vary in how severe it is.

Marriages, and relationships will break up over this kind of event. Even as time passes things may get better but healing will never never be complete.

So I do not want to hear the "healing" bullshit. This kind of massacre is a true disaster for many lives.

I am a Vietnam vet and I know that it never goes away ever. You may live but you never truly heal completely. The psychic scar will always be their like the raven of "nevermore". Even after 50 years memories still come back. Though I was spared the very worst of the war, I still remember. I will always remember.

Trump, the NRA and every GOPPER can take their "thoughts and prayers" and stick it up their asses. I am just furious as I have ever been right now.

I have seen close up what assault weapons do. They turn bodies into chaotic jelly with body parts missing and scattered. Walk into a damned tent with 30 bodies all shot up and it torches your soul.

1. Thank you for saying this!!! I'm so damn fed up with the touchy feely hollow suited politicians,

the inane prayers all of the charades that go on with these horrific massacres and nothing happens to correct the horrific situations. The US is a nation of professional mourners and the shit happens. And shit happens in the US to stop it. I'll stop here, you did an excellent job of expressing my thoughts. Americans and their fucken guns, what a stupid stupid stupid nation filled with violence and guns and hatred!

3. These Wounds Don't Heal.

I have run into Mr. Mauser through the years at Democratic events. He lost his son at Columbine. He has been fighting this gun issue for a long time. We have talked and I know that he has not healed. There is a sadness to the man any time I have talked to him at events. Have not seen him in a while.

If you are a parent losing a child to such a massacre leaves an unfillable hole. The victims are so quickly forgotten.

2. It's not about providing kind words or comfort

It's just empty words used as a cover. It's essentially expressing that nothing else besides thoughts and prayers will be done.
