I do not understand the public proclamations of grief.

Please don't try and make me. I'm not mocking (any of) you for your sadness or trying to persuade you not to be sad. I just totally don't f*cking get it and it's both frustrating and alienating. Someone you didn't know, and would never know, died. Welcome to every day.

I just want to put that out there in case I'm NOT the only person in the world feeling like this (as it seems to be).
