They already know what they did...so just let them be there with it.

I do know what it is like to have the weight of the world crashing down on one's
shoulders. You end up spending 100% of your time putting out fires and just
trying to survive the day intact. I would not wish it on anyone, it is not fun.
It is very easy to have unintended loose ends or obligations when you are
in the survival mode.
The key is to get thru it without losing your mind, keeping your dignity intact as
well as common sensibilities. Having a good friend or a helping hand in a time
of need goes a long way to surviving the storm.
When things settle down, follow up with the loose ends and obligations and make them right. People will understand, at least the one's who care will.
Be kind to people, like Neil you never know what someone is going thru. Could
be a divorce, loss of a family member, a cancer diagnosis or just a bad day.
Neil, best of luck to you, I hope the sailing is smoother and the grass greener
in your future.
Targa,Keep up the great work, we don't need to lose a fine craftsman either.
We are all better off with both of you back on board !!
