Well, doggone it all -- what I THOUGHT I felt was grief mixed with intense, bursting admiration (for us and because of the supportive responses of the world) when I was fishing around to find the holiday decorations. What this feeling must have been, of course, was "humiliation" or at least the fear of it. And I wanted to deny that I was humiliated and prove to everyone that it wasn't so by defiantly displaying symbols of national pride. I see that now.
OK..... maybe this is an "English language" thing. Could Bill Gates have been "embarrassed"? If I were him, I think I would have been a little of that and a lot of "angry".I think it is indeed an "English language" thing.
