“Grief tears work differently to other types, I’ve noticed. Normally, when something makes you cry, there’s a build-up period, while your brain fixates on the bad thing that’s happened, and your tear ducts dutifully well up in response to those thoughts. Not with grief tears. They just instantly appear – like the world’s worst magic trick. You don’t get any time to prepare yourself. Ever.”
