This sentence really struck me because it highlights how differently people process loss, especially at such a pivotal time in life.

It’s interesting how some turned inward to philosophy, while others turned outward to comfort someone directly affected.

It speaks to the duality of grief, both personal reflection and shared empathy.

The contrast between intellectualizing loss and experiencing it on an emotional level is powerful here.

Thanks for sharing this!
