The grief will not end. Yet the healing must begin. So as the shock of Newtown’s horrific school shooting starts to wear off, as the headlines fade and the therapists leave, residents are seeking a way forward through faith, community and a determination to seize their future.

Last week another shooting incident happened in the United States of America that killed 20 children and six adults in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The suspect is 20 years old, the son of a teacher in that school who was also found dead in her home that she shared with him. He used the identification card of his elder brother to enter the school and commit the assault. The guns used were apparently owned by the mother who is a collector. They were legally acquired.
Heart-rending funerals were held Monday for two six-year-old boys, as America began to say farewell to the 20 children slain in a school shooting that sparked calls for new gun laws.
