I didn't think the kids would really open up. But they really do. And it's important to meet them where they are. I see the value of that Now that takes a whole lot of people. So how do you manage all of that stuff. Yeah won the. I wanna comment on what you just said rosie lead to. It has so much about creating that safe space. In to your point we find when we create that safe space no matter the age of the person they stepped into that and they find a comfort level. They never imagined you know so. That's one thing you're absolutely right. All of that work that we are doing. And there's just seven of us on staff here at laurie's place. Three within the carrying circle bereavement team.

Keep steering our ship now and oh go ahead theresa. Sorry no no. That's okay boy. Now you okay. Well i was going to ask say Like you said if you're old enough to love your old enough to grieve. I about fell out of my chair. And so as we roll into this holiday season. I don't mean to put you on the spot.

Or you've lost your mom or you have had a miscarriage. You just don't have the words because nothing can make it better. So what are some. Do's and don'ts as you're going into the holiday and you know people are experiencing i or fifty i and they're still in pain.
