A journey through grief in tweets is helping my brave and thoughtful niece, Carly, express herself in a powerful and impactful way. I thank her for her raw honesty and marvel at her ability to capture the essence of what she is feeling in 280 characters or less. Carly is a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

As an Aunt, my heart aches for Carly and for my sister.  As a school nurse, I am in search of answers, along with so many others.  #SchoolNursesDemandAction is gaining traction around the country thanks to Twitter and the power of social media.  I realize that some cannot or choose not to take such a public stand and I respect their decision.  For those who do want to participate in this effort, please reach out and let us know.
