I woke yesterday morning to news of the deaths of 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, and I am still trying to process what has happened.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Christchurch who have lost family members and friends.
The people of Christchurch are resilient, having already suffered much during two major earthquakes and the loss of 185 lives in their community in 2011.
With the support of New Zealanders, and the world, the people of Christchurch will carry on, turning their backs on such an evil act of violence this week.
Are you struggling to know what to say to young family members. Here is a useful link from New Zealand on how to talk to children about trauma in the world

To the people of Christchurch and New Zealand, I remember you.
