having conflicted feelings.
i want to bring in eric fisher
to talk about this.
we talked during the break and
we talked a lot about how to
speak to the kids.
but before we go to kids, a lot
of adults who are having a
really difficult time coming to
terms with this internally.
i told you, i was out shopping
for my goddaughter yesterday who
is 7 and almost started tearing
up in the tarth store.
is it okay to show that emotion
to children?
>> almost a vicarious grief that
we see the grieving other people
are going through and with kids
so many of us fear losing them
that when we see other people
grieving it brings out our own
fears and we go through that
grieving process without
necessarily having to.
it is perfectly okay to show
emotion.
it's okay to let your kids see
some tears and say i really feel
sad about some things that
happened around us.
>> so, reject that feeling to be
stoic and be the strong, stable
one.
