When stuff like this happens, it is not just a grief of watching that brother be destroyed. It is the 400 years of grief that was never addressed. My son is learning how to drive, and it's terrifying me. It's terrifying me. It's terrifying. My wife, um, that he's gonna be out here. Um and I won't be with him, was I? If if somebody did something to him, I would lose it. This can't go on. This has to why people have to get their act together. This has to stop. This has to stop. I can't see another body. I can't watch the whole thing. I can't watch that. It's re wounding and his re traumatized. I can't do that. But if my if they if they do something to my baby, if they do something to my baby. I'm I'm, um I'm done. I'm just I'm holding a lot of nervous systems right now, but it's hard. I'm not sleeping. You know, I keep going from sadness to grief, to a tremendous amount of rage.
