I had the worst tragedy happen to me, the loss of a child, in a traffic accident.  When I was at my worst, Michael first navigated on my behalf, and then counseled me in my navigation of tasks that needed to be done.  If you are facing a crisis, and even if you just need assistance without a crisis, Michael is the right person to talk to.  He is clear and one of the most kind individuals I have ever worked with and I will literally always be grateful to him for helping me.
