Strength means recognising that it is impossible to be strong all the time.

After long hours of juggling the board and fielding all the minor stuff for the Chief, Grace was ready to head back to her own department to check on the latest arrivals and touch base with Addison.
Grace was getting in the same elevator as Miranda and Shepherd after they had spoken to Bonnie's fiancé. She had seen them across the room and couldn't help but be grateful that she dealt with beginnings, and rarely saw any endings.
They were the only people in the elevator and Derek was starting to lose it.
Without saying anything, Miranda reached out and pulled the stop button. He turned to the corner resting his hands on the rail, his head low. Neither Grace nor Miranda moved or said anything until he pulled himself together and turned back.
'Okay?' Grace said quietly, her hand on the button.
Derek nodded. 'Yeah.'
The elevator finished its journey and let them out without anything else being said.
