00:00Of course, that's why I said in front of those kids, it's so easy as a kid to think or convince
00:05yourself the reason is, I wouldn't know, like I was 12 for you, for an adult, but it seems
00:12to be the same, which is you convince yourself that the person that you've lost wants you,
00:17you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they're missed. But
00:22then there's this realisation of, no, they must want me to be happy.
00:27Yeah, exactly.
00:28And what you've done now is not only have you transitioned to that without, I mean,
00:35with still the memories and the every single day, I guess you wake up and think about him.
00:40Yeah, 100%.
00:41But then the smiles that you put on all these kids faces, that's the medicine.
00:45Yeah, that is definitely my medicine.
00:47It's the antidote to the talk about it because it's going to make me sad. But once realising
00:51that if I do talk about it, and I'm celebrating their life, then actually things become easier.
00:57As opposed to this sort of like, no, I'm just not going to talk about it. And that's
01:01the best form of coping. When in fact, it's not. It can be for a period of time. But that's
01:07what I was saying to them is like, if you suppress this for too long, you can't suppress
01:11it forever. It's not sustainable. And it will eat away at you inside. Equally, you don't
01:17want to be in a position, no one wants to be in a position to be forced to have to talk
01:20about the very thing they don't want to talk about. Especially when every defence mechanism
01:24in your mind, your nervous system and everything else is saying do not go there.
