Just yesterday, I was walking and talking with a friend.  She then turned to me and a flood of tears poured down her face.  Tears afterall are the words the heart cannot say.  She (let's call her Jill) couldn't express her loss of her 2 dogs last year, the reality that she needed to donate their dog bowls now and let them emotionally go.
