The best way to deal with grief is to get comfortable with crying. They offer the most beautiful context for compassionate action.
Why do we often see crying as a sign of weakness? In this heartfelt episode of '2 Sober Chicks' Shotglass of Recovery, Julie takes a deep dive into the cultural stigma surrounding tears and their powerful role in emotional healing. Growing up, Julie was taught to hide her emotions and put on a brave face, a lesson passed down from her mother. This belief that crying was messy and unsafe stayed with her for years.
However, through her journey in the 12-step program and therapy, she discovered that crying is not only natural but necessary for processing grief and healing emotionally. Julie shares her personal experiences and how embracing vulnerability has helped her connect more deeply with herself and others. She also touches on how men, in particular, are often discouraged from crying, which can lead to emotional repression and even violence.
By allowing themselves to cry, men could foster stronger connections and a better understanding of their emotions. If you've ever felt ashamed of your tears or struggled with grief, Julie's insights might just offer the comfort and encouragement you need.
