I heartily agree Sarah. It's less important to say the absolutely right thing, than to say something. I think we forget that it's not our words that are necessarily comforting, but the fact that we care enough to show up. “Just be thoughtful and active.” I heartily agree Sarah.

I agree completely with your last paragraph because it's not just about finding a solution on our own and marching forth, but gaining strength from our support systems, whether in-person or through social media (and through friends like you!)

You are right, we can let events overcome us, or we can be proactive in seeking solutions, clearing our minds, shaking it off and participating in life. As a person immersed in social media, using its tools and its communities to get out there and be progressive makes sense to me. Others turn to what makes sense to them and their lives. The main point here I have gained from reading this is to use the tools and communities we have to hand to ensure we work things through and come out the other side stronger.
