The welling of grief needs to be expressed. It's not the tears we cry that hurt us, but the ones we struggle not to cry, because they drip within our sad and weary hearts. Crying may be the strongest act of self-healing and self-nurturing.
Tears of grief nourish the seeds of growth.
Healthy crying is the natural method of self-renewal. (Have you noticed that kids always feel better after they cry). Crying functions as a natural stabilizer in periods of stress.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
