There’s no avoiding that fact that things happen whether we like them or not, so we can go through events by keeping them to ourselves or deciding to share them with others. The usual approach is to share good times with others, but the benefit of sharing bad experiences is that we can offload part of the burden through imparting them to the other. There’s no point going through pain and anguish alone when there are close ones that can be pulled into sharing the destructive experience with us.
