It’s never easy to see the ones you love, the ones you care about the most, the one who mean the most to you in tears, let alone to hear them crying. But how prudent is it to try to stop them from crying?
It’s hard to see them in tears. And to just hear them and not be there in person for them drives a dagger through your heart knowing that there’s nothing you can do, making you feel so helpless and blue.
But how right is it to tell them not to cry, saying everything will be alright, no matter how noble your intention maybe?
Sometimes the best thing is getting it all out of the system.
Just like when your stomach is upset from a thing that you may have ate, the best thing to do is get all out of your system so that you can start to feel better.
And so it is with crying, you need to get it all out of your system.
You need to drain yourself of the sadness and hurt you feel in order to begin the healing. Cause when you keep it bottled up inside, it’ll curdle and fester into something unpleasant. And when it finds its way out, it’s never going to be good, amplifying into something much greater than what it should.
So let them cry. Let them get it all out of their system. Let them mourn and drain themselves of the hurt and the pain.
It’s not going to be easy. It’s never easy. It’s never ever easy to stand there and do nothing or say nothing. But in doing so you are doing so much more for them.
It’s going to hurt you so bad (but not as much as they are hurting) but you’ve got to be patient and let them cry.
Be there for them, let them let out all that they feel. Be the ear that they need. Be the shoulder for them to lean on to.
But don’t tell them to stop. Cause sometimes in tears and sadness you begin to heal and that is the best thing you’ll ever do.
