So, when a friend shows me a rock hanging over his head, I should dodge it?
Yeah, it would make my life easier.
I maintain, though, that if someone says, "Hey, I'd like a hug / to vent / to escape. You see, I've got this rock hanging over my head, and I don't know exactly how or where it's going to land," they should, eventually, let the rest of us know that it's landed. Not immediately, but sometime.
Yes, they're entitled to privacy, but they gave up some of it when they showed us the rock in the first place. They've got closure, why shouldn't they give it to us, too?
I'm not asking for full details, just, "It missed me! Wheee!" or "Yeah, it fell. Explosively. I won't be around much for a while." Something to let me know I can shift my prayers from "Please deflect it," to "Please help pick up the pieces."
I dunno. Maybe I invest too much of myself in my prayers for others.
