I think you should be proud of yourself for knowing when to leave! And yeah, sometimes the unexpected things can be worse than the explicitly sad ones. And it's so alienating, too. I remember once sitting in a movie theater surrounded by sobbing people and thinking "really?"
That sounds so hard, and like everything was stacked against you to begin with. I'm really sorry you had that experience. I also agree that taking care of yourself in the moment and doing what you needed is something to be proud of. Sending a virtual hug, if you would like one (since I can't give you a real one this evening - boo!)
Thank you, I really appreciate that — the kind words and the hug, although I’m so sorry you couldn’t be there tonight! (I will take one next time, though) xx

Thank you! I’m so glad I did. But that’s funny that it can work the other way, too 😀
It's totally unpredictable sometimes.
It really is.

I’m so sorry you went through this! I agree with T&M above - well done for leaving.
Thank you ❤️ I really think it’s time we stopped with this whole “people dying” thing.
