This doesn't belong in I & A, but I'm putting it here anyway, to be close to the New York threads.

I have gotten several indications that, at least for people who were not in NY or D.C., this day brought on stronger sadness even than the preceding three days. I'm not sure why--possibly the Day of Mourning, or that individuals' stories are coming to light and thus making the tragedy more personal, or maybe simply that it took that long for it to sink in that this is real. If anyone wants to discuss this phenomenon, fine. If not, fine. I am posting this to say, "If you suddenly found yourself weeping--you were and are not alone".
