In reply to the discussion: ❤The Floyd Family's lawyer Ben Crump expands on the family's call with @JoeBiden: [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)17. I'm glad and relieved that George Floyd's family
Received a call from Joe Biden. When youre suffering through the initial shock and devastation of losing someone it truly helps to become grounded by the sincere and gentle words of people expressing their condolences. It helps because it helps you along the journey of your grief. To be confronted with the false words of someone who doesnt care about your loss and is just going through the motions makes you want to die from the added harm it brings.
Thats why Im glad Biden called the family. He heals. And what he says about the day will come when the thought of your loved one brings a smile before it brings the pain of loss is absolutely true. Thats exactly what happens.
