Deidre told her: “Sandra, I completely understand where you’re coming from. I have grandchildren, the idea of losing one of them would just absolutely destroy me.”
She then asked Sandra if she and her family are managing to support each other through their grief.

“Some of them have closed up, I want to talk about her all the time. But other people, not so much.”
