Let me just quickly add that this doesn’t mean that you _shouldn’t_ wear Shine to a funeral, because it could make things a little easier for someone even if you can’t see it–which you likely won’t because it would be socially inappropriate for them to show it.

So, you might succeed in lifting someone’s depression at least slightly, so it might be worth it to do it, but it is highly unlikely that you will see any evidence at all that you did. Like Tish says, pheros are subtle–people aren’t going to be breaking into a softshoe routine even if you wear pheros to a party, let alone a funeral.
