A woman who lost her husband and three of her children in a grisly shooting in Oshawa, Ont. said she and her surviving son are struggling to come to grips with the loss, and simply getting from one day to the next sometimes feels like an “impossible task.”

Loretta Traynor, who was injured in the Sept. 4 shooting, spoke alongside her son Sam, a university student, at a funeral service for their four family members on Thursday.

The four were “taken too soon, too violently, and without warning,” Traynor said, adding she can’t believe or accept that any good will come out of their tragic deaths.

Fifty-year-old Chris Traynor and the couple’s children, 20-year-old Bradley Traynor, 15-year-old Adelaide Traynor and 11-year-old Joseph Traynor were killed in their home earlier this month.

Durham regional police have identified the shooter as 48-year-old Mitchell Lapa, who is also related to the family. Media reports say he is Loretta Traynor’s brother. Police say Lapa died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
