The quote is from the book, "A Liturgy For Grieving a National Tragedy";.
Audrey's critics branded her "disrespectful" for trying to put a "positive" spin on the tragedy.
One wrote on Reddit: "How dare someone suggest that any act of mercy can fill this 'void'? To even classify this level of loss as a 'void' is disrespectful and disgusting.
"They were 8-12-year-old innocent children that were murdered while in their classroom."

Another added: "I hate the toxic positivity culture. How does she even attempt to find positivity in this?"
A third posted: "Disgusting. Read the room. Ugh, I hate her even more now. I bet she wouldn’t be spewing this s**t if it was her child that was just murdered at school."
Ramos opened fire inside the school, shooting at children in several classrooms during a horrific 94-minute rampage.
Since the shooting, dozens of celebrities - including Kim Kardashian - have been calling for stricter gun control laws.
