It’s breaking my heart. I watched a video report from Kati Couric that effectively reduced me to tears. I’d been watching videos and looking at pictures since this catastrophe happened, but there was something about that video that was just heart wrenching.
The suffering is massive – seemingly more than the heart can bare. Those Haitian hearts – what keeps them beating? Strong resolve? Shock? In the days, months, and years to come, layers of misery will press down upon the people. There’s no communication now, but later, when survivors learn of family and friends, places and memories, that were destroyed, what will become of them?
I feel so helpless. I feel like I should be there doing something, but I don’t have what they need, and no way to get there. I’d just be in the way.
God bless the ones who are there to help. God save and bless the Haitian people.

I made a promise to myself to stay away from the coverage and thankfully that’s what I have done.
I’d watch a minute of CNN just for a quick update then I turn. Katrina affected me badly, so I can’t have that happening again. The few things I have read online about Haiti leaves me speechless.
Yeah, sometimes it helps to not listen to it all, especially when you feel helpless.
