[00:01:45]Gravesides can be  a place where our grief can have space and anniversaries can be a chance for us to focus... It's just another day Look, it's completely understandable to  want to avoid those feelings of grief because they're painful but the pain is something we've got to go through We can't go around it Do you want to talk about it?

[00:02:15]No I really don't Well, ok If you change your mind I'm always here How was it?
