that's exactly the sort of pain that would cause the sudden need to cry.
I felt mugged. I was walking through my kitchen, and one moment I was fine, and the next I was sobbing. If there had been any warning, any build up of emotions prior to that, I had been repressing it so effectively that I had not really noted it with my conscious mind.
But that's not surprising either, given that my parents were there and I was in "project mode." The last thing I wanted was to get bogged down in grief. Especially one I couldn't fully explain to them.
