““There's nothing lonelier than grief. Sometimes I wanted to cry out to them all in the middle of History "Please please look at me help me can't you see how unhappy I am?" But what would have happened? They would have gathered round making soothing noises helping me out of the room maybe offering me tissues...and none of that would touch the deep dark ocean that circled silently inside. They could not see it touch it stop it. I didn't know any way to do that.””
![“My sounds [crying] were small and muffled but obvious. No one paid any attention. It was the way we had become. In a world full of sorrows, this was only one more.” quote by Elizabeth Berg, The Year of Pleasures](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bf0/elizabeth-berg-the-year-of-ple_grief_my-sounds-crying-were-small-and-muffled_1477939.jpg)
