Jori, love this lesson of leadership. And love your friend's quote regarding carrying grief, giving it a healing voice through the act of bearing it together. It resonates with certain lines from Edward Hirsch's poem "Gabriel" about grieving his own son:
Jori, love this lesson of leadership. And love your friend's quote regarding carrying grief, giving it a healing voice through the act of bearing it together. It resonates with certain lines from Edward Hirsch's poem "Gabriel" about grieving his own son:

Is a labor in the dark
We carry inside ourselves

That’s why it takes courage
To get out of bed in the morning
And climb into the day
