I learned recently that we have to share our grief, worries, feelings, anything and everything with someone because you cannot carry all of it by yourself. Even though you think you may be strong enough, or you feel that you don't want to talk about it, or you don't want to burden someone
else, It took someone on here actually to make me realize that. They were a listening ear and a shoulder for me and didn't push, they waited patiently for me to open up about it, and it turned out that we were going through the same things. You never know what the next person is going through. I cannot thank them enough. They have no idea how much of an impact they've made. Sure I've thanked them but those words doesn't even come close to measuring my gratitude.

After having done so, I've come to understand virtually no one really cares. Beyond that most will actually pass some level of judgement on me for it.

So .. I've pretty well stopped. I might share some surface level or open fact based stuff, but very seldom anything further.
