Another massacre, Uvalde, Texas, an elementary school. Beautiful, innocent second, third, fourth graders. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened, see their friends die as if they are on a battlefield, for God\u2019s sake?\u201d Biden began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo lose a child is like having a piece of your soul ripped away. There\u2019s a hollowness in your chest, you feel like you are being sucked into it and never going to be able to get out. You\u2019re suffocating. And it\u2019s never quite the same,\u201d the president continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a feeling shared by the siblings and their grandparents and the family members and the community that is left behind. Scripture says, Jill and I have talked about this in different contexts, the lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
