What this self-check measures
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “Nobody understands what I lost”, including the private rule underneath it: If I open the door to this grief even a crack, it will take everything — so seal it, and handle it alone. Waves come and they also go, but I can only see the rise, not the receding. Silence keeps the water out of other people's lives.
