I've spent most of my career working night shifts in the ER where it's not uncommon to meet people who may be having one of the worst days of their lives. They, and their families, usually did not expect to be in the ER just a few hours before. This can be draining for all involved.
When I get to host a long weekend (on the property I grew up on) I usually see multigenerational families or groups of friends who've spent months planning a getaway. Memories are made and bonds strengthened. To be involved in these events is invigorating and I can foresee continuing this long term.
