Erica, I don't have experience to share with you, just sympathy. I know you aren't looking for that per se, but I know that you of all people will be able to help these others through it. Your personality and kindness are infectious, and even if you don't think your words matter, they really really do. So *hugs* Good luck, I know it will work out. And I'm sorry to hear about the death.
[lots of hugs back] Thanks, Gena. Sometimes it feels like I'm not helping much at all, cos everyone just keeps crying and crying. I know that's silly, it's just hard to gauge if I'm really helping. I want to give them ALL as much time off as they want, but that's just not possible. [sighs] The funeral has been set for Monday, my day off, so I can at least cover the store so that the other two managers can attend, and I can bring a few of my former employees from my old store in to get the shift taken care of. So it all works out, I guess. [smiles]
