Thank you for your comment, Jeyn. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Sophia. This kind of loss does indeed change the way we parent. I think with Emily, the pandemic made the whole "time to launch and start your life" narrative even harder (many of her friends are also struggling and they don't have the kind of trauma she has). I really wish we could change the societal narrative to one that's more supportive for our young people overall, quite frankly.
