It's Okay to Shed Tears

Grief carries its own set of burdens, and among all of them, we don’t need to deal with the burden of when it is okay to shed tears. It’s okay to cry – anywhere, at any time, and any amount. Allow the tears to flow, and think of them as “healing rain from heaven”, for our tears bring cleansing and comfort. We were designed to cry when we are in pain!!!

Little by little, as we work through some of the most difficult days of pain, our tears will begin to lessen, and the tears that have fallen will now be the life support for the new joy that will begin to sprout from the innermost being of our hearts.

If you are struggling with grief and pain today, remember that your sadness will not last forever. Deep within your being is a seed of HOPE that is being watered daily by your tears! –C. Hinton

“Even in my sorrow, hope holds me in its embrace.” --Clara Hinton

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who
loved us.” -- Romans 8:37
