Sometimes I think the rules of crisis apply when we are talking to our T and we can be all "official" and give the facts/details as removed from us, as if we were talking about a news article we'd read that morning, but then, when confronted with the time/place it's okay to be upset, then we are freer to do that. That's kind of what wakes and funerals are for?
I get it...but still, feels weird to talk about my nephew dying so tragically, so young and to be emotionless all the while.
