Thank you, Alex, for expressing what so many are feeling today. When I read your words this morning, I was reminded of these words, from the concluding stanza of Desiderata…
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.

Strive to be happy.
