Hi Megan
I was touched by your passion and your words that dignity is also deeply felt. I couldn’t agree more. Children are extremely perceptive of our behaviour and the ways we engage with them, even long before they can communicate back verbally. I think one thing we need to keep in mind is that these children are still learning about life, what it means to be human and what it means to be seen and heard, despite having shorter lives. We (how we show up in caring for them) may be some of the biggest lessons that they would learn in their short lives!! What an honour and what a responsibility.
Thank you for sharing your heart on this.
Susan
