Maybe part of me felt I had to. Or that I felt their own feelings were more important than my own.
They saw it happen. They had to go through it. They were in that terrifying situation.
I didn't want to show my anger in front of them, or my friends. And I didn't want to let my anger and frustration paralyze me, so I could help my family move forward, so I could be a source of strength for them. I buried my own feelings about what happened so I could be strong for them.
