As a history buff and retired Social Worker the information about mass graves is not new in Canadian history.
So many people are shocked and commenting.
My fear is when the dust settles, will the concerns continue. Or is it just a current news event and we will go on to the next one.
For the survivors it has triggered many responses. Trauma for an individual never ends. Moving on occurs but the trauma lives in that person.
So being respectful of all the emotions triggered for our Indigenous communities needs to be paramount. Listening with an open mind and heart.
Some are asking for A Day of Mourning. It would be a good thing.
I do not want to have the answers but want to respect what would have meaning for those who have experienced the traumas.
What do you think? How have you responded to the current news? How do we honour the little souls lost?
