During this podcast episode, we have a conversation about our feelings that day and the days following. We are heart broken for the city of Uvalde, but also in awe of the people who came together to support & comfort the victims’ families in need and the surrounding community. We don’t have any answers as to why this happened or how it can be stopped going forward; all we want is to open the door to conversation about our thoughts & feelings about Uvalde, Buffalo and other communities who have experienced tragedy, what our children are feeling, and how we can continue to support one another when these events happen.
We would love to speak to other community members who can give us more insight, resources and more ideas on what we can do to help. If anyone is open, we would love to have them on the show. Please email us at hello@supermamas.com with suggestions.
