What a touching piece about tears, Christine.

I'm sadly on my way to say goodbye to a dear friend.

I needed to read this ❤️

So grateful for this piece, thank you.

Tears are indeed sacred and I need to cry quite often, but I need to be alone to really let it out and feel it, it’s not so much shame in crying, but I find almost any words of comfort or support can be disruptive to my process.

Having a big cry is almost like giving birth, I want no intervention however well meaning, if anything I want to be lovingly held on silence and to feel the permission in that silence
