Grieving: I got teary-eyed tonight in the temple when I had difficulty tying things. I could not believe how much harder it was than a month ago. But I did not want to cry at that moment, so I really sucked it in. Almost lost it again--tears did spill. However, I did not really break down. That was what I was trying to avoid. I was afraid that if I began, I would not stop.
