Grief Sessions

Since the turtles moved in with my grandparents and I a couple weeks ago, they've been sleeping in the living room instead of their own rooms. I was starting to get really worried about them especially since their sensei died of pneumonia a couple weeks ago.

I decided to give them grief counseling sessions. Hopefully, talking about how they felt about Splinter's death would help.

For the past couple weeks, I'd been cooking and working on broken items. Mikey and Donny were grateful that I was covering their normal activities for the time being.

I left my bedroom and headed for the living room. The turtles were sitting on the sofa.

"How are all of you doing?" I asked the turtles.

"We're trying to hang in there but it's not that easy," Donny said.

"Would it be a problem if I talked to you individually and then as a group?" I asked.

"That would be fine," Leo said after glancing at his brothers who nodded.

"Who's going to be first?" Raph asked.

"Mikey, how about you?" I suggested.

"Sure, Chloe," Mikey replied.

The turtles stood up, wrapped their arms around each other, squeezed tightly, and then released each other. Then Mikey and I joined hands and we walked out of the room.
