Write the next sentence in the following story.

How to respond to someone describing a hard childhood
Limit distractions and interruptions.
When someone is sharing something as personal as the details of a difficult childhood the last thing you want is a phone constantly ringing, beeping, and buzzing. And the last thing they want is to have to repeat a painful detail because you were distracted.
Do what you can to remove any distractions and limit interruptions so the person feels comfortable talking with you. If you know in advance they'll be telling you something personal, eliminate distractions and possible interruptions in advance.
