Could I have done advice.

W's family has an event and kids are getting smart / pretty clothes to wear. They are going to look great. I think the invite extends to me but W has not asked or passed it on, so I will be home alone for a number of days whilst they go.

The kids clothes are around the house on show and I can't walk past them without feeling upset that I am not going to be there as part of the family and to see them happy and looking smart etc. I would normally be so proud of them.

Should I ask W if I can put them away and explain why? Or just leave it and hide my emotions?

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
