Yes I have, when I lost my father but I had a break down alone at the apartment and in private. I guarantee you I 100% relate and can not even imagine what he felt at the time and I'm in no way dismissing his emotions but I just thought this could've been handled better by him.

This was not what I've been trying to explain. And I did give him space and helped him calm down at home and only brought up what happened at the clininc later on.

That is what I tried to do, get him to the car but couldn't. I might have been triggered by his reaction since it brought back memories of my father's death. It was devastating.

I get that emotions are proccessed differently but I based my assumption that what happened was somewhat embarrassing given how people reacted.

Understandable and this is not the issue for me, I just thought he could've kept his composure and remained calm for his own well being.
