Up to 1,000 people were expected this weekend, accompanied by some 400 psychologists, police, and public officials, including Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who tells the AP he would "take part in their mourning. I will be there as a friend, as a prime minister." "Very often they ask for details, and this is where they can learn more about the details," a psychologist tells the BBC. Norway's General Director of Health Bjoern Inge Larsen says many survivors "have a lot of anxiety. They were life-threatened on this island four weeks ago in a very traumatizing manner, so what we are prepared for is to help them to overcome that anxiety." Norway marks the end of the one-month grieving period tomorrow with a national memorial service. (More Anders Behring Breivik stories.) Report an error
