When Carolyn McKinstry hears that young survivors of a mass shooting like last month's in Connecticut are receiving counseling, she can speak to its value through her own experience _ or lack of it.
McKinstry, who lives in Birmingham now and works at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, said she's glad to hear about it when survivors of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., received counseling.
"I don't know who came up with it, but I'm so grateful that it's there," she said. "We probably can't imagine the kinds of things that we head off by allowing time for healing and for that discussion."
