Shared trauma
First-year neuroscience major Kianne Bell said she feels isolated in her grief, having to process her feelings in a continuous cycle.
“I feel trapped in it. I feel so boxed in with what’s going on,” she said. “Obviously, I hope there’s an end, and I’m sure there will be. But right now, I don’t feel like there will be.”
