Almost forgot - are the blackbirds (my favorite birds when I was a child) called "Kos" in Greek? If so, just to let you know that we use the exact same word...
Gee man, that's rough. Please accept my deepest condolences!
I guess this is one of the biggest lies of the current "enlightened" era: that men are now encouraged to show rather than swallow emotion like earlier is absolute🤬, alas. Don't know if that is remotely what happened to your late friend, but in my experience, if one is male and shows genuine emotion, one will be dismissed as a weakling even more brutally than before. But like I said, could be totally unrelated. Am somehow reminded of the self-exit of Aias the Greater...and just how Odysseus, upon glimpsing his shadow in Hades, gets what is quite recognizably an attack of PTSD, and then calms himself down by switching to mythological characters and their stories. And hey, if it could happen to Aias the Greater with his bearlike strength and shield of seven oxhides, means it can happen to literally anyone, no matter how strong. May your friend rest in peace.
Yeah, I feel it too. Thanks.
I got you man.
