I think others are more able to quickly make statements because of how more removed from the situation they are. Im okay with Elliot taking his time to find the right words he wants to use to express himself, and am glad we have the support of others gushing in during the meantime.

I hope/trust Elliott is spending his time/effort on his players, not putting out a statement for our consumption.

Just going to put it out there: it’s ok to sign off and turn off the news/Twitter/whatever. Just give yourself a moment to breathe and distract.

I have a hard time with this, and am working on it. Sharing in case it’s helpful for anyone else to hear and give themselves permission.

Grieve how you grieve. No shame. I been in a fog all day but for me reading tributes and seeing people I know post and talk is good. I am lucky my twitter is basically only UVa sports and fans so good caring people

First and foremost, as a human what makes this hard is the senseless loss of life. The empathetic burnout for the loved ones of the victims, the emotional well being of our players, student body, UVA alum, Charlottesville residents, etc.

Secondly, as a fan what makes this hard is that the world has always been a scary place and sports are an escapism for a lot of us. It’s hard to have that escapism when the thing we are trying to escape directly involves the sport we are attached to. Whether it be as us fans watching the games or athletes engaging in the sport and losing their mind and worries in the moment.

When both the first and second points overlap it becomes unbearable. To be human and have such a weight on our chest with no rationalization or closure for why such a senseless killing happened. It hurts. And it is absolutely okay to prioritize yourself and your mental health by stepping away and being kind to yourself first and foremost.
