Just Let Me Cry

There are moments in my journey of grief that I feel self-inflicted pressure to show strength and resolve. There are moments that I feel the pressure of others speaking a false strength into me.

  • It will be alright.
  • You are a strong woman.
  • God is with you.

But the fact is, there are moments I don’t want to be strong.  I don’t want things to be alright. And knowing and believing that God is with him or me doesn’t make the pain invisible.

Yesterday I heard this song. It speaks to those moments of my life when I want to tell the world around me:

For now just let me cry…

For now just let me lie…

For now just let me be…

    Absolutely Cry!!
    Feel that Horrific pain and release it through tears…as long as you need.
    My mother 84 still feels the pain at the loss of my sister at 7 months gestation and will cry recounting the story. And it is a Healthy Loving Cry!
    But she has cried those same tears with other women who have suffered the loss of a child and comforted them as one who Knows!
    You are doing the same…please keep Crying and I will defend your right to do so!!!,
    Blessings Sweet Sister!
