  Speaker 1: I think I'm more bearable, you know, and I think,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you know, time does make things a little better, but
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: also waves of grief will just come up randomly. Like
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'll be listening to a song that I know he
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: liked and all of a sudden I'll just start crying
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere. So it does like, like the cycles
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of grief, you know, you kind of bounce around them
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: at first. And then you just, you know, life goes
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: on and whether you like it to or not. And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, You know, it's been six years.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: But it's still a little sneak up on you in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: random ways. But I think like what the author was saying,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I think people just like don't want to be uncomfortable.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Like I remember when he first passed away, even just
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: like someone like a waitress would be like, how's your day?
• 0:50

• 0:51
  Speaker 1: me to actually tell you or do you want me
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to just say good and move on? You know, so
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just don't know how
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to like, maybe they're not bringing it up because they're
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like trying to ignore them or it's a mercy, but
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they're just like, don't even know how to like handle that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: But it's always nice. I mean, especially like I have
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: other friends whose dads passed away and we call it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like the dead dads club. And we'll kind of like
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: talk about it every once in a while because we know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know, people that haven't experienced it. It's just like,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you could, you could be like, Oh, I'm sorry. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to have someone like relate is kind of nice. But, Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I think time heals it, but it's still, it's always there.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's just, it's easier to deal with or you find
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: different coping mechanisms. But then every once in a while,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you got to allow yourself to be sad and kind
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of keep the memory alive and talk about it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: How does, was there something a friend did or some,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: or even a relative or even Chris or somebody that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: was like, really was encouraging to you when you were grieving.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You were like, this is very nice. Thank you. Like
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it was actually helpful. It wasn't hurtful in any way. Mm-hmm.
