Grieve your way

Following the terrible atrocity at the Manchester Arena on Monday night, let us not be critical of how others choose to mark this dreadful event or handle their grief.

Many people feel a strong desire to band together with like-minded others in shows of unity and solidarity against terrorism.

Yet, others cannot comprehend such actions, as many are overcome by fear and anger, and some are experiencing sadness too deep to contemplate anything but silent sorrow.

The last thing we in Great Britain need right now is diviomies sions being created among our people, caused by heartless criticism of others for how they process such an abhorrent act as occured.

At times of such adversity, it is vital that we recognise we are all different, and respect other’s feelings while still remaining united.
