It really is hard to just ignore someone being upset but I think that's what she wanted.<br /><br />Tania- Yes I've been her too- well I got off the train but started crying as I walked. That was also a family issue. I agree you do want to be left alone but kind looks can help, or the kindness not to look I should say! Thanks I hope I did do the right thing.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-88829763028817571562009-07-29T15:02:15.019+01:002009-07-29T15:02:15.019+01:00I've been her - haven't we all at some poi...I've been her - haven't we all at some point? For me, it was a death in the family, and when I was overcome with sorrow in public, I just wanted to be left alone. So that's what I do if I see someone crying in public. If there's something wrong which I might be able to help with - they are hurt, or distressed because they've been robbed, or something similar - then I'm in like Flynn. But with silent weepers, I think the kindest thing one can do is pretend not to see. So you did the right thing, Rose.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-49943848977563544452009-07-29T13:20:54.169+01:002009-07-29T13:20:54.169+01:00That's such a beautiful post.
