The 19th anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre has come and gone—a grim milestone that serves as a stinging indictment of our societal failures. We mourn, yet we continue to ignore the roadmap to preventing violence. By failing to confront the reality of untreated mental illness and legal loopholes, we have left the door open for the next tragedy. The April 16, 2007, Virginia Tech shooting remains a watershed moment in the history of mass violence. With 32 lives lost and 23 wounded, it stands as the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.

“Even though we are together, I still feel alone.” “Being alone is bearable; loneliness while in a relationship is painful.” “It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.” Sadly, most people who have been in a long-term relationship recognize the feelings being expressed in these statements.
