I know you know this, but find an isolated place* to just let 'em out. Let it all come up from deep within. It's supposed to happen. It's how we grieve, how we heal. I had an unexpected fairly weepy day yesterday, myself...

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
