Gosh, Heim, that's a tough one. So when something like this would happen before (death in the family, big life-change stuff, etc), you wouldn't talk to W about your feelings? That would surprise me a little.
And if you did share your feelings, would you let her comfort you, or would you be kinda needy and lean on her in a way that seemed to make her uncomfortable?
I think all that plays in to whether or not you take her up on her offer.
