The next time you meet a survivor who is willing to talk publicly about his/her experience, please don’t lower your head in pity and whisper “I’m so sorry.” It’s okay to express sympathy, but do it while looking them in the eyes.  Better yet, say thank you for having the courage to speak out. Tell them that they are your hero… and mean it!
