I love it, make sure you don't walk backwards. What I like about the quote is I can think of some times where I have gone backwards, sideways, or even lost the map... it makes me wonder how to avoid that feeling of being lost proactively (in other words, having a vision and working towards it)
All good points. Monitoring one's own reaction in a volatile situation is always valuable. Giving advice is tempting, but not the best thing to do. Giving space is a valuable discipline.
On supporting others...people sometimes avoid a grieving person because they don't know what to say to them, but instead "sit with it/hold space for them" I can see this being very effective :)

It's a good question. I think the key lies in forward motion, whatever that may look like.. even if the map becomes lost

Very valuable skills.

Grieving is a good example. I guess sometimes we are afraid we will make things worse or say the wrong things
