All the World's a Stage: Effectively roleplaying grief (WoW Insider)
...The heart of this matter is one of scale. If your grief-for-the-public is to thrash your breasts and back with thorns, crying out for the Light to take you instead of your lover, then what on earth could ever top that? Later that night, when you're roleplaying one on one, how can you "take it to another level"?
Always keep your scale in mind. When the first wave of grief hits you, downturned eyes or a quick sniffle is probably about the level of emote you want to use. Then, toward the end of your roleplay, you can get a full, impactful breakdown out of your character. This kind of emotional decompression will let you squeeze out the full gamut of roleplay avaliable from the grief event.
