“embarrassed by her tears, and that affects me so much. She shouldn’t be ashamed of her grief. I hate that society has made her feel this way. It’s only been three months. But isn’t that the way things work? People use up all their sympathy and understanding in the first few days and weeks, and then they move on. They expect you to do the same. Suddenly your sadness makes everyone else uncomfortable, so you hide it. You hide it deep inside and let it eat away at you.”
