I knew this line would get scrutinized. My bad, I didn't phrase it well. It's the difference between letting grief out and letting grief in. I owe many women close to me, who've helped me process complex emotions. But they've primarily focused on helping let emotions out. I suspect women don't struggle with letting grief in as often. It is more common for this to be a male experience. Helping a man feel safe enough to slowly let grief in, is a delicate exercise in patience and silence. I hadn't seen it represented this well in visual form before. It was also instrumental in helping me detect when I myself was refusing to let emotions in. Now I can tell if I'm running away from a sense of loss/negative emotion. It helps me extend that same patience towards myself.
