Writer Regina Brett's life lessons are great little nuggets of wisdom. There's something for everyone! I'll be reflecting on this week's lesson: "Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone."
"Misery loves company." This old chestnut is pretty well-worn into the collective subconscious. When we share our disappointments with someone who can relate, life doesn't seem to hurt so much. People who are hurting over the same loss can find strength and comfort in grieving together. Even if you're crying and the other parties involved are not, accept the love and help of those around you who wish to be there for you in your time of emotional need. Chances are good that in the future, they'll need to be with you, too, when their time comes.
