Good point about letting others express what they need in grief. You strike me as a polite person who’d let others to initiate. I can’t imagine you being the kind of person who goes on and on demanding attention to themselves, being intrusive about other people’s grief. Sadly some people are this way, they try to make absolutely everything about themselves, even other people’s grief! Luckily usually people catch on on their “me me me” game and distance themselves.

Yep I totally agree! And yeah I am very respectful about other people’s privacy. I don’t pry into their grief and I can understand why they may be afraid to talk in person for fear of crying, especially if it is at work or at another public place. As you may know, I work at a high school and, at least for me, I couldn't imagine breaking down in tears especially if students are around. That’s just me though. I’m sure a lot of people are similar when it comes to being emotional in public or at work.
