I can't say I am a big fan of the way grief is handled in our society generally. As tragic and as emotional a loss can be, I tend to prefer to just move on ASAP. But pity, whether from self or others, has never been an attractive emotion to me unless it's combined with actual practical assistance.
I don't particularly like your approach, and think holding all that crap in and 'getting on with it' is worse for you than venting/talking/whatever. But that works for me and I don't assume it's right for you.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Don't really feel like talking to my mates about it as most of them know her and it's not my place to tell them, and my wife is feeling crappy enough as it is.
