What went through your head at the time and what's been going through your head as you've had time?

That kind of rumination and kind of just spiraling of all those questions that you just shared and all those thoughts, I'm sure it's almost like not even...

It's not even a question of trying to move on.

It's so kind of all-encompassing and all-engulfing because it's exactly what you said.

You're just wondering about if this, what if, why not?

What was the hardest part about that experience that no one sees?

Because everyone tries to empathize.

Everyone obviously tries to understand.

And you can, I always feel like when you haven't been through a pain, you can be empathetic, you can be compassionate, you can be theoretically there.

But when something happens to you, it's very different than when you observe it through someone else.

What's the part of it that no one sees that you've been carrying that affects you?

I've had friends pass away or younger friends get diagnosed with cancer who've passed away.

And it's been really interesting when you get to that kind of age when people around you are starting to get diagnosed with certain things.

And you start learning how, as friends, you want to be there for each other, but how certain friends don't quite get it.

And it comes back down to exactly what you just said.

As humans, we're so quick to judge someone's experience and how we deal with it.

And then when you go through something close to that, you realize how none of that mental faculty or reasoning even comes close to helping you deal with any of that because the emotion is so strong and so overriding that you don't have that function in your brain that you had before something like that happened.

The hardest thing is your loss and what you're going through and love and the life you had and wanting it back.

But then you're also managing this, your career, which also has this public perception on it.

How did everyone find out and how did that kind of go into the conversation there?
