Grandson having a big thought

What is it called ... people passing - behind - telephone pole?

Has everyone had this experience?  Is there a name for it?  Is there an explanation as to why it happens?

It happened to me again this morning.  The gentleman walking toward me on the sidewalk was suddenly hidden by the telephone pole and we would have passed without knowing what the other person looked like;  except he stopped while behind the pole, reversed direction, and we came face to face.  The queries above came about in the resultant conversation.  He thought it might be called a coincidence - which is a whole other area of interest and 'reason for stopping'.

I could not find any reference to this with googling.  Crows might have an opinion.

Aftermath of mourning

I've never heard mention of the aftermath of mourning, when you have come through the fog to awareness of the state you have been in, to the rather startling realization that you seem to have gone through the motions of daily living,  that there is now the feeling of coming awake and looking around and wondering what next.  But it is distinctive.  It is not about the loss.  It is about adjusting to what has been gained.
