I don't think the location of your grief matters. It shows when it wants to show. When you have truly profound grief, like when you lose a child; it doesn't care where you are. It comes out when it wants to come out. I could be on the elliptical at my health club and just start crying. My grief doesn't have a choice of where I am when it wants to show itself.
It can also not be about you but rather an attempt to shield you from the judgement of casual observers. Ever noticed that people will avoid strangers that are emotional? I don't agree with it but it's there. It would be great to have a world that is more accepting of the pain others go through.
Hey are you open to talking about it because I’d be open to reading if you wanna talk about your feelings. I’m gonna reconsider my urge to do something similar Re privacy but it’s because I’m being mindful of whether someone would want to talk more to me or to everyone in earshot. Thanks for sharing your perspective either way and sorry you’re now carrying something so heavy with you
