When someone's grieving, you can never go wrong by expressing your condolences and saying you’re here for that person. You don’t need to say anything else. What’s more important is for you to listen. Let the other person share how they’re feeling. Meanwhile, don’t feel like you need to offer solutions. Just listen. The person will appreciate your presence.

Sending love to my cousins Mandy Weigensberg, Elayne Kazenel Weigensberg and Jamie Weigensberg.

On Tuesday, my wife and I suffered our second miscarriage in less than a year. There are no words to describe our sadness, but it makes Father's Day tomorrow that much harder for me.

As you all celebrate with your dads this year, take time to think about and empathize with those who really struggle with Father’s Day. Think about the many people who have lost their fathers, or who never had fathers to begin with. Think about the fathers who have lost children. Reach out to every single one of them if you can.

Father's Day is not always a happy day for everyone. Take time to think about fatherless children and childless fathers.

Have you ever woken up in the morning feeling tired? Have you taken a moment to figure out what's making you feel tired? Is it because you watched too much Netflix the night before? Perhaps you drank too much and feel hungover? Or maybe you're anxious because you have to deliver a presentation the following morning?

Learning how to discriminate between different feelings is a key component of self-awareness, as it also allows you to properly deal with your actual experiences.
