(45,409 posts)29. Sending thoughts is not a bad thing
or even calling someone to let them know you care about them and listen can be good.
Of course most of us don't have a problem with thoughts and prayers, we would like some policies and laws to change to better prevent this in the future. But that won't help people who have already been shot. Good health care might help. And any therapy or counseling if needed. I bet it was traumatic.
Some of the hippies here who believe in Reiki can send healing thoughts.
