Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but its a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of. – Emmylou Harris
Its about communication. Its about honesty. Its about treating people in the organization as deserving to know the facts. You dont try to give them half the story. You dont try to hide the story.
