A Painful Op-Ed Piece

The tragedy which struck the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday left this Medical Executive-Post, and the entire nation, stunned. So many deaths of far too young victims! It is difficult to comprehend, explain or manage. It is not so difficult to feel some of the enormous loss of the parents, families and friends of the victims.

And, I’m sure it is unnecessary for me to encourage you to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. You, like me, have probably thought of little else since Friday.

At the ME-P, we will remember the people and families in Newtown, CT. Like the rest of the nation, our home-page flag will be at half-staff through this week.

If you have children of elementary school age, you may need some opportunities to process their reactions to this tragedy. Perhaps all they need is someone to listen, or to reassure them that these tragedies are rare events. We trust your local clergy, pediatricians and counselors are available to assist you or your child if that would be helpful.

In closing, I would like to share with you a Judeo-Christian reading which might bring some comfort during these difficult days:

A Prayer

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor …  to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

We trust the deep knowledge and expertise on this topic by ME-P thought-leader Gene Schmuckler is available to you, as needed.

Fraternally,

David Edward Marcinko
