My heart aches for each of them, the undiscovered ones, the forgotten ones, the families, the grandmas, the grandchildren that will never be… its all too much to bear for even the distant.
All of the lies, deceit & hubris is completely unacceptable. No excuses. No more committees, studies – only positive, sincere healing actions informed by those affected.
Starts with accountability, apologies & restitution beyond filthy lucre.
This is the end of the beginning & a time to renew with deliberate empathy & generativity. Plant a new garden of trust & equity.
The past pushes us, the future awaits us.
