Bustle's Editors On Las Vegas + Tom Petty

It's hard to believe it's only Tuesday, considering what an awful, news-heavy week it's been so far. The tragic Las Vegas shooting left dozens of people dead and many more injured, and combined with the continued devastation of Puerto Rico, and Tom Petty's untimely death, we've all had trouble processing everything that's occurred.

It's perfectly understandable if you need a break from the hard news of the last few days — we all deserve one. But if you're willing to take a look, here's the latest on Vegas, Tom Petty, and more.

Las Vegas + The Aftermath

As you all know by now, Monday saw the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The Las Vegas attack left 58 dead and hundreds injured, and information is still pouring in about what happened and how the massacre occurred. And if anyone tries to tell you that we shouldn't politicize the tragedy, remind them that yes, now is the right time to talk about gun control. Change is needed, and as we've learned time and time again, "thoughts and prayers" aren't nearly enough.

How To Help: You don't have to be in Las Vegas to help out the victims and their families. If you're able, give to funds and donate blood.

Tom Petty + His Legacy

Monday was also a difficult day for music fans, as it marked the death of legendary rocker Tom Petty, at the age of 66. Petty, who passed away from a heart attack, was responsible for iconic tracks like "Free Fallin'" and "American Girl," as well as the lyrics behind pop hits like Sam Smith's "Stay With Me." He'll be greatly missed by many.

Quote Of The Day: "You belong among the wildflowers" — Petty in his 1994 song "Wildflowers." The lyrics are being used to pay tribute to the musician. R.I.P., Tom.

Self-Care + You

If the tragedy in Vegas, the devastation in Puerto Rico, and the other recent heartbreaking events feel too overwhelming to process, you're not alone. Remember, it's important to practice self-care in difficult times like these. As these experts say, it's crucial to be kind to yourself in times of tragedy: go on walks, read books, get a massage, and talk to friends. You need it.
