WEST MICHIGAN -- The healing process is just beginning in Kalamazoo, and moving forward can be especially difficult after such a senseless act of violence took so many innocent lives.

Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids offers free grief support for adults and children dealing with the loss of a loved one. They say it's important to share your feelings with a trusted friend or counselor to help process your emotions.

Lindsay Jousma of Gilda's Club said it's possible for a community to come out stronger after healing from something like this, but the key is that we support each other in the meantime.
