Perspective is critical. But I'm a firm believer that sharing how we feel even compaling is okay as long as we piss and maon with a little perspective. Hurt is hurt, and every time we honor our own struggle and the struggles of others by responding with empathy and compassion, the healing that results affectsa llof us.

You;re worried about your teenager becoming disconnected and isolated during quarantine when thoughousands of people in India are dying?
