We have always needed each other but in times of quiet certainty, we can forget how much.
A quiet, stable life depends on honest human interactions and support. Unfortunately our neighbours to the south have elected a president who isn’t interested in friendly interactions with us, nor in mutual support. Many Canadians are feeling our quiet, stable way of life, being shaken…
For more than 200 years we have lived quietly, trusting that our neighbours to the south would act in a neighbourly fashion and now they’re not. So we grieve. We grieve the peaceful coexistence and the peace-of-mind that seems lost to us right now.
Grievers need people who will listen without shushing them or painting a sunny face on things and they need to stay away from those who would add outrage and fear to the load that they are already struggling with.
Right now we are all grieving the uncertainty of living next to the USA.
Right now we all need good listeners.
We need each other.
