The centre of Oslo today... soldiers with guns, guarding the area where the bomb exploded yesterday, killing 7 and injuring many more.People have been visiting the area during the day, bringing flowers and candles. Some are at tears, others just walk by and try to comprehend the horrible events that has struck Norway so hard.
At Utøya, a small island in the fjord Tyrifjorden, about 50 km south of Oslo, the police and other helpers have started to bring back the bodies of all the young ones who were massacred yesterday. So far 85 are confirmed dead, and 4 or 5 are still missing. Many others are injured, some of them severly. We don't know yet how high the death numbers will be.
Norway is a small nation, we aren't many people here. Just to compare; per capita Norway has lost more than twice as many as the US did during 9/11. We are all touched, we are all mourning and we will never be the same.
We receive heart warming support and concern from all over the world, and I know this means a lot to me and others. Thank you, to all who care!
Peace & Love

Thank you so much, Fio! ♥ I hope your friends and family are all okay!
Yes, they are OK, furtunately.
But I can't stop thinking about families who lost their children. I'm a mum too...
I was in Oslo many times, and I always told my friends in Poland - this is one of the most beautiful and one of the safest place to live!
It's hard to belive...
Take care of yourself!
My love,
Fio

So sorry, on Sunday in Helsinki we had flags at half mast for Norway. Flags everywhere.
Prayers to you from New York City
