"The very act of putting the Sympathy Pin on, is a self acknowledgment that you are not feeling "normal" or "okay" and that this is quite reasonable. You need to allow yourself time to grieve. In Western societies we do not enjoy strong and structured community support, as we go about our often isolate lives. The Sympathy Pin allows others to recognize where you are in your life at this time and that you need them to bear with you."
This is quite interesting idea. Not sure how well this would work if others don't recognise what the pin means. I came across it in the context of the Australian Bushfires, and the need to recognise those who are grieving.
