A few days have passed since the devastating bus crash on Friday evening took the lives of over a dozen people, and many people are still feeling the heavy hurt of this tragedy.

Those directly involved are going through situations most of us can't imagine, but we all feel connected one way or another.

"What I was hearing in the stories across the board was how people were relating," said Della Ferguson, a grief support professional at W.J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. "When we relate we actually- every cell in our body remembers. That moment, that close call we heard so many professional athletes talk about their close calls. Every cell of our body remembers that and that's why we're emotionally evoked by this."

Support has popped up all over social media and vigils are being held across the province, along with the two here in Moose Jaw - one at Vanier Collegiate High School and one at the Minto United Church.

The main reason for this is because this is a tragedy that has happened so close to home, and we all need time to heal and understand just why.

"What it does it draws us a sense of empathy and understanding," Ferguson said. "It doesn't come close, in this moment, to knowing. None of us knows what it's like [other] than those who are directly impacted, but we have an inkling of understanding, and that's resonating so deeply and rippling across like this massive tidal wave that has just hit North America."

At times like these, showing support and being together is what everyone really needs. Ferguson suggests, even if you are introverted, to go out and be with others, to talk and not leave yourself isolated.

The funeral home is offering anyone to stop by to sign a "message of love" book that will be delivered to the families affected by this to show support for them and that Moose Jaw and surrounding areas are here for them.
