Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
Thank you so much, witnesses, for coming here today. We've been hearing heavy stories over a couple meetings.
I'm a father of three and a grandfather of three, and I can't even imagine what these families are going through. I want to say thank you so much for your work.
Here at the committee, when we hear these stories, really they're just a snapshot of what these families are truly going through, but you both are with these families from start to finish. Thank you so much for your work. You must be feeling all of it. It's even hard for us on the committee, and it's been a very emotional committee meeting today. I'm sure you carry this with you all the time, so thank you so much for coming here today and sharing with us your input. It is so important to do this work.
Ms. Fockler, can you share with us, in your experience, what a typical recovery time is for families? Obviously it's different for individuals, but on average, when are people feeling ready to face the world again?
