Prior to that, I did a teaching on grief crisis counseling - emphasizing that at any given moment, any of us could be cast into a situation of embracing someone else in the midst of their nightmare. Would we be ready. Would we be sensitized to see another's pain and sensitive and equipped to minister to that pain? With our pain receptors so often dulled by crisis after crisis, could we be there for each other as if it was the very first time?

It makes me feel even more awful knowing I'm ignoring it, rather than listening, watching, learning, and grieving the loss.
