Gina Spence Program Calls For Healing
“I urge our community leaders, faith-based organizations, parents, educators, and every citizen to come together,” Gina Spence Program said, saying “let us rise together and heal together.”
Gina Spence-Virgil, Founder & Grief Recovery Specialist of the Gina Spence Program said, “It is with a heavy heart that I speak to you today in the wake of yet another senseless act of violence that has shaken our community to its core. The tragic shooting has left a family grieving, children without answers, and an entire neighborhood blanketed in sorrow. One life lost is one too many, and the ripple effect of that loss touches every single one of us.
“As a Grief Recovery Specialist, I know too well the silent pain that follows in the aftermath of tragedy. Our children are watching. They are feeling. They are carrying burdens far too heavy for their young hearts. Families are left not only to mourn but to piece together their lives in a world that suddenly feels unsafe and uncertain.
“At The Gina Spence Program, we believe that grief is not just an individual experience but a community responsibility. We must hold space for the hurting, lift up the broken, and guide our people from mourning to healing. But healing doesn’t happen in silence or isolation. It happens when we come together, when we refuse to normalize trauma, and when we decide to act.
“Let this be a turning point. Not another headline. Not another funeral. But a call to action.
“I urge our community leaders, faith-based organizations, parents, educators, and every citizen to come together. Let’s support our children with real tools for grief recovery. Let’s create safe spaces where healing can happen. Let’s pour love into the lives that have been scarred by violence.
“We cannot stop every act of harm, but we can fight for every heart left behind.
“To the family who is grieving today: We see you. We mourn with you. And we are here for you.
“To our community: Now is the time to turn pain into purpose. Let us rise together and heal together.
“If you or someone you know is grieving, please reach out to The Gina Spence Program. Help is here. Hope is real. And healing is possible. We provide one-on-one grief counseling through our specialized grief team.
“If you would like to support our Hardship Fund, your donation will help provide free grief counseling to those who may not have the means to afford help. At GSP, we believe that grief support should be accessible to all, and that no heart should grieve alone. Every donation helps us make healing possible for someone in need.”
