Look on the bright side - it sounds as though nobody has been hurt by the broken glass, or I imagine you'd have mentioned that.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.
