Sarah Lampert spoke to reporters Thursday night about her daughter, Ticaria, who was among eight people killed in the attack that also left the shooter dead and dozens injured.
The mother of a 12-year-old girl killed in the school shooting in Tumbler Ridge says her family is struggling to comprehend the loss as the small northern B.C. community mourns the victims.
Sarah Lampert spoke to reporters Thursday about her daughter, Ticaria, who was among eight people killed in the attack that also left the shooter dead and dozens injured.
“We now have to figure out how to live life without her, and there’s nothing and no one that can fill that gap,” Lampert said. “Our family is shattered, and it is going to take immense amounts of time to get through this.”
Lampert, a single mother of eight children, described her household as deeply interconnected. “I’m a single mom and every single one of us matter in my family. Our truth is that we have learned to become a functioning cell together. Every one of us mattered. Her absence in our family is not going to go unnoticed,” she said, fighting back tears.
Lampert described her daughter as a larger-than-life presence in their home. “She was a blazing light in the darkness. If you didn’t see her, you definitely heard her,” she said, adding that her daughter “just wanted to bring sunshine to everyone and everything she ever touched.”
“She loved her family fiercely … her friends were her everything,” her mother said.
Lampert said everyday routines now serve as painful reminders of her daughter’s absence.
“Simple things like going and getting in the van and turning around and not having a full head count is going to be hard. Everything is hard right now.”
