Mr. Rogers is right - anything that's human is mentionable. And what's more human than the grief that follows loss?

Grief and mourning are human. Make space to bear witness to it, without hurry and without judgement - for yourself. For others.

Respectful leadership must allow space for that which is human. It's necessary.

Lead yourself well.

Be there.
Full present to the other.
Without judgement or pretense.
Without fault-finding or fixing.
Listening deeply.
Listening to what is said and what is unsaid.
Listening to the visible and the invisible.

Creating respectful space for next steps to surface, be processed in unhurried time and access wisdom for a unique journey and situation.
True listening is a gift we can offer one another.

Notice.
Name.
Choose.

Lead yourself well.
