What would you have done?

CindyLou notices a woman on her Green Line car barely holding back tears for much of their ride:

... I tried to offer her a smile, but she wasn't looking over, and I didn't want her to think I was gawking at her misery.

The kind words of friends, family and strangers were what helped pull me out of my gloom, and I thought it appropriate if I could offer the same help to someone else. But I couldn't. I didn't know how to pay it forward.

So I didn't break T etiquette. I got off at my stop without ever saying a word.

I hope that wherever she was heading, she had someone to help pick her up again. ...
