I am so sorry. I am glad that hockey is bringing you some relief and levity. Of course, I did not know him personally like you, but it really hit home in that he was a political figure that I recognized AND that he was outside waiting for his wife. We have a teacher at school whose husband was killed in the police building outside the White House a year or so ago, so I also feel that the (gun) violence is out of control. I will retire and we will move out of this area also.
My classmates and I were huddled together in Georgetown last night. It was a warmish, pleasant February night, perfect for walking. The streets that I navigated for long nights of beer sipping with pals many years ago were deserted by 7:00. I mean deserted. It seemed like a setting from the movie 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown.'

When you've been abandoned by joy, there's only one thing to do.
"...so I went to the pond..." Good on you!
