I'm very sorry you are going through this. I hope you and your staff get the support you need to allow the healing to take place. I agree that you should take advantage of any counseling you can receive and be sure to give yourself time to grieve and understand what's happened. My prayers are with you.

Does you employer have access to a CISD (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing) team? I think that might help you all. My heart is with you.
