Maybe we're frustrated and powerless right now. We know of others who haven't cried, which may make us angry, worried or even jealous. There are no simple answers to why some of us cry and others don't. We remind ourselves that tears are not the only signs of grieving. There are so many others.
Humans are all different.
Just as we grieve uniquely, so will they. Others may tell us to stop crying, as though we can command nature to change course. How burdensome this is. We must, and will, cry as long as we need to cry, as often as we feel the dampness of moisture, as many raindrops as our body produces. Not to cry when our very nature demands release is to deny our humanness.
