Hello. So I love this class and how much it helps me to understand my family. When we talked about how families deal with a crisis I thought of the most recent one my family has gone through. My family is made up of my dad and mom, my older sister, me and my younger brother. My family and I have always been really close so a couple of years ago when my sister got married and never told any of us it was very difficult to deal with. At first my parents question what they did wrong but I was able to see it bring our family closer together in the end. I saw me and my brother comfort and support our parents. Also my parents supported my sisters decision after they got over the shock. It really showed how close my family really is when my sister disappointed all of us but we were able to forgive and support her decision. It was just hard because we never saw it coming. My sister was never the type to do something like this, she always had things planned and for the most part she was very open to all of us. Our family has always been very close though and that was what helped us all get through it. Through reading our book it talks about the different stages when dealing with a crisis: Stage 1 Onset, Stage 2 Disorganization, and Stage 3 Reorganization. Reading this helped me to understand the process my family went through during our crisis. I've realized that my family is definitely close enough to handle any crisis that might come our way and it's very comforting to know this.
