Whether celebration or tragedy, it’s often the bigger moments in life that spur conversation with those close to you.

It isn’t just the fact that such life events bring people together, that seems obvious enough. They tend to break walls, make us vulnerable — open us up.

Notice this the next time you’re brought together with family or friends due to unanticipated circumstances.

Share your thoughts and feelings with those near to you; truly converse. Go deep.

It’s surprisingly therapeutic.
