We may think, do and say things that are very unlike us. While you go through this journey of grief try to keep a sense of balance. Laughter and a sense of humor are important tools in handling your grief and maintaining your health. According to Norman Cousins laughter is a form of internal jogging. It moves the internal organs around and enhances respiration.
Tears have a language all their own, a tongue that needs no interpreter.
A few years ago I worked on the TWA Flight 800 air disaster. Despite all the different cultures and languages spoken by the families - tears needed no translator. There is a bond between grieving people that is like no other. Tears are not a luxury - they are a necessity. Sobbing is an outlet for the deep, strong emotions that accompany the death of a loved one.
