Sometimes, it was like sharing adventure stories. Sometimes it was like they were just shedding skin, so that they could move on in peace. I always "handled" it in a very factual manner; they were just details and facts about experiences and occurrences that really weren't filled with emotion. Or, at least, battle dress uniform once they were "shed," the experiences could be handled in that impersonal manner. My concern was with their attaining a calm state, a frame of mind where they could "leave all that shit behind". To the best of my recollection, most were able to attain battle dress uniform that. And I felt pretty good about that. In fact, I recall that most were thankful for my being there, to help them "fill out the forms" or "set things straight" in their minds about how to categorize their recent experiences and their current predicament. Another thing I recall, and I've thought about this often though I don't recollect that I gave it much deep thought at the time, is that there were "others" passing through, who didn't seem to require what I offered, or maybe didn't even see me.
