I'M HAPPY TO HAVE LAURUS AND
STEWART JOIN ME TODAY.
LAUREL, TO 4@FEEL TIME AT A GRI
LIKE THIS I THINK SOME OF US
FEEL GUILTY ABOUT MISSING THE
LITTLE TH4@INGS.
LITTLE TH4@INGS. IT IS OKAY.
IT IS REALLY NORMAL.
>> IT REALLY IS COMPLETELY OKAY
IT IS REALLY NORMAL. >> IT REALLY IS COMPLETELY OKAY@
AND SO NORMAL EVEN IF WE
HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED A LOST
DIRECTLY WITH ONE 4@OF OUR LOVE
ONES DURING THIS TIME.
WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED LOSSES
AT 4@SOME CAPACITY4@ WHETHER IT
A LOSS OF A JOB, 4@THE LOSS OF
HER ROUTINE, THE LOSS OF
CONNECTION WITH THE FAMILY
MEMBERS THAT WE DO HAVE EVEN
THOUGH MANY OF US ARE STILL
FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE OUR
FAMILY4@ WE4@LL AND HEALTHY.
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONNECT WITH
THEM IN THE 4@WAY SAID WE USUAL
WHAT AND THAT IS A LOSS IN AND
OF ITSELF.
OF ITSELF. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE VERY
NORMAL TO BE MISSING AND TO BE
EVEN GRIEVING RIGHT NOW. 4@
>> HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
I SAW ON TWITTER THE OTHER DAY
SOMEONE WAS EXPLAINING THIS
ROLLER COASTER WHERE THEY WOULD
HAVE THREE GOOD DAYS AND THEN
JUST ABSOLUTELY CRASH FOR A DAY
AND WALK AROUND AND WHAT FELT 4@
LIKE A FOG.
THERE WAS KIND OF AND ECHOING
OF PEOPLE SAYING YES, THAT IS
ME.
ME.
ME. I
ME. I DON'T KNOW SOME OF THIS US ARE
ABLE TO GET THROUGH WITHOUT
FEELING SOME OF THAT FOG AND
EVEN A GRIEF.4@4@
HOW DO WE, WHAT ARE THE BEST
FIRST STEPS TO DEAL WITH 4@
SOMETHING AS LARGE AS THIS?4@
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
I THINK THE VERY FIRST THING
THAT WE NEED TO DO FOR 4@
OURSELVES ANYTIME THAT WE ARE
EXPERIENCING SOMETHING LIKE
THAT IS TO JUST THE KNOWLEDGE
THAT THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
SO MANY TIMES WHEN WE ARE
FEELING OUT OF SORTS OR OUT OF
THE ORDINARY OR WE ARE JUST
TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE DAY,
OFTEN WHAT WE DO, IS 4@WE PUSH
AWAY THE 4@EMOTIONS THAT WE 4@A
EXPERIENCING.
EXPERIENCING. WE PUSH AWAY THE DENIAL.4@
WE DENIED THE THE DIAL.
WE PUSH AWAY THE ANGER OR THE
SADNESS OR 4@THE CONFUSION.
WE JUST KIND OF NUMB IT OUT.
I THINK THE FIRST STEP IS JUST
ACCEPTING4@ THAT WE ARE
EXPERIENCING AN EMOTION AND IT
IS AN 4@ABSOLUTELY OKAY4@ AND
NORMAL THING TO EXPERIENCE. 4@
WE NEED TO ALLOW THOSE EMOTIONS
AND THAT GRIEF TO HAPPEN.
THAT IS HOW WE START PROCESSING
WITHOUT JUST LETTING IT SIT
INSIDE OF US HAD SORT OF FESTER
AND CREATE AN EVEN BIGGER
PROBLEM IN THE LONG RUN.
>> WHAT CAN WE DO4@ FOR OTHER 4@
PEOPLE WHO 4@ARE GRIEVING?
MAYBE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO IS4@, HEY, I AM THIS

LITERALLY HUG THEM OR HAVE THAT
FACE-TO-FACE TIME.
FACE-TO-FACE TIME. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN
FACE-TO-FACE TIME. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN@
DO FOR OTHERS RIGHT NOW?
>> I THINK ONE OF THE EASIEST
THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IS TO
OTHERS4@ FOR OTHERS IS TO JUST
OFFER SPACE.4@
OFFER SPACE.4@ OFFER SPACE FOR THEM TO TALK TO
PROCESS WITHOUT TRYING TO
MINIMIZE, WITHOUT TRYING TO
TURN IT AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND
SAY4@, LOOK 4@ON THE BRIGHT SID
HERE ARE ALL THE GREAT THINGS
THAT YOU HAVE GOING FOR YOU.
CERTAINLY THERE IS ROOM FOR
OPTIMISM, ROOM 4@4@FOR HOPE4@.4
WE JUST4@ NEED TO ALLOW PEOPLE
OUR LIVES4@ TO TELL US HOW THEY
ARE FEELING. ONCE THEY FEEL
SUPPORTED 4@AND ALLOTS A PROCES
THAT OUT WITH SOMEBODY THAT
THEY LOVE, 4@MAYBE IT'S THEIR
FRIEND OR YOUR 4@FAMILY MEMBER,
YOUR CHILD. 4@4@

ALL OF THE TEAM THAT YOU WORK
WITH OFFER, WHEN DO YOU KNOW
THAT IT IS TIME TO REACH OUT
FOR SOMEONE AND GET SOME
PROFESSIONAL HELP ESPECIALLY

TIME TO GET SOME HELP?
>> EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT IN 4@
THAT WAY.4@
THAT WAY.4@ WE KNOW THAT EVERYBODY
PROCESSES THINGS DIFFERENTLY
AND SOMETIMES IT IS OKAY TO

YOU'RE SEEING REALLY DRASTIC
CHANGES IN 4@YOUR MOOD AND ENER
LEVELS,4@ MAYBE YOU CAN'T GET O
