The Latest: Experts counsel shooting survivors on grieving
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on the deadly Florida high school shooting (all times local):
3:25 p.m.
A prominent psychiatrist is cautioning survivors that they may want to limit the funeral services they attend to close friends after 17 people were fatally gunned down at a Florida high school last week.
Dr. Francisco Cruz, lead psychiatrist at Ketamine Health Centers, says those survivors shouldn't feel obligated to attend all 17 funerals. He also says overexposure to news coverage and social media posts about the shooting may be more harmful than attending a series of funerals.
Cruz says going through the "funeral process" can help people get through tough times.
