My issue was relative to those around me who knew her much better than I. I felt my visceral, and unexpected, reaction was in excess of the connection. It felt like my reaction far outweighed what right I did have to grieve for her. In deference to others closer, I opted to walk away rather than make a spectacle of myself. The last thing I want is for people to look at me and say "oh come on, he barely knew her, why's HE crying..." etc.

And yes, the hole she left is indeed huge. You should have seen the field....
