Although this sounds like the ideal, this is not the case for all people. In fact, how often do we hear of family members who do not speak to each other for months, sometimes years. How sad?
And then someone dies and some family members act as if they never thought of this inevitable event. They are left with regrets and feelings of guilt, because they never apologised or never had an opportunity to make peace.
Is this your story?
Will your pride and anger be worth it in the end?
With all the festivities around the corner, many families are making plans to spend the Festive Season together. This time of peace, love and sharing is not always conflict-free.

How do we plan to spend Christmas with family or in-laws and ensure that the end of the Festive Season does not mean the end of a few relationships?
How do we utilise the wonderful wisdom of empathy to ensure that we are sad to say goodbye and not pray that this time with family will go by quickly?
This is what I'll focus on this morning during my regular Empathy slot on RSG.
