This morning I met one of our nice nurses in the pediatric ICU - Melissa Chhen. She taught me a new 15 minute rule.
If someone is DEPRESSED or SAD for whatever the reason it is - let them be so and help them go through that. Let them know that you give them 15 minutes of private time to grieve over that. Everyday the time given to go through the grief will go down by 2-5 minutes, until there is no time left.
By helping them go through the grief they get a better handle of the situation, learn that those are normal part of a person's life and you may NEVER have to go to a stage of needing medical help.
What a great piece of wisdom!
I remember the quote:
YOU WERE GIVEN THIS LIFE BECAUSE YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT!
So Dads and Moms - EMPOWER your children
