Hook

Have you ever had to paste on a cheerful smile at work while your personal life was secretly falling apart? Maybe you just received some awful news about a family member, but your calendar is packed with back-to-back meetings. Maybe your heart is breaking over a ruined relationship, yet people are still asking you what you want for lunch or when you will finish that spreadsheet. You want to hide under the covers and cry for a week. Instead, you have to button up your collar, take a deep breath, and walk into the room.

It is an exhausting, lonely feeling. It feels like being split in two: one half of you is a grieving human being, and the other half is expected to be a functional, dependable adult.
