On my flight, I just broke down in tears. I’m sitting next to a stranger and I am not sure what I would do if I were in their position, but how could she just sit there and watch me cry? This begs the question, when someone is crying is it your place to comfort them? To comfort or to ignore? Difficult decision and requires vulnerability from both people to acknowledge the pain, but ignoring it almost feels worse than confronting it. Asking the tough questions.
