FOCUS: Remember, when tragedy strikes, take steps to heal
By Dr. Josi Kalavar | Over the past two decades, an all-too-familiar scene has made headlines: photos of a community gathered at a place to mourn a senseless tragedy. It could be from a natural disaster like tornadoes, floods and hurricanes, a fire, a building collapse, or most recently, a school shooting.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
