Some things to keep in mind about the hostages: 1. Some are returning, but their fathers or other family members remain. They will likely have to speak carefully to not endanger them. 2. Many lost a parent, both partners, or other family members. Some may not even know that they did yet. 3. The hostages may not know what has been going on for the last 40+ days. Give them time to see how much the world has been calling for their release. 4. They went through unspeakable trauma and it doesn’t stop when they get back to their families. They’re going to have a very long healing process. 5. Give them space.
