Apology not needed guys, but thanks anyways - as I wrote before - we know that the vast majority of people symphatize with us - and that helps.
( And those who dont - well, they have my symphaties...)
Norway is a small nation, and the victims were gathered from all over the country meaning that local communities and municipal councils will have to deal with the aftermaths from north to south.
They have set up crisis centers for the bereaved where they will get professional help to deal with their loss. These are run by the local authorities in cooperation with those volunteer organizations that find it natural to participate - like the red cross, people from the church parish and others. Thats on the short term.
On the longer term there will be afforded some sort of economical compensation to tidy them over if they have prolonged leave from work and that sort of thing. Medical assistance, for instance therapy, will be made available to them etc. Funerals and memorial services/gatherings will take place after the wishes of the relatives at the goverments expense. I guess we are all hoping that they will feel we are doing what we can.

The important thing is now to help the families of the victims try to get on with their lives. What is the support network like in Norway for tragedies like this?
