A young child struggling with the transition of welcoming a new baby into the house isn't being deliberately naughty; they are struggling with
big feelings of grief and simply don't have the verbal ability to put these feelings into words, so they are translated in their behavior.
A retired engineer who sees
grief as just another problem to solve, he's launched himself into the productive busywork
of his golden years, buying a new pair
of jeans and trying to sell the house that suddenly
feels five times too
big.
