Day 06

Permission to Cry in the Kitchen

without warning, without reason enough

Not at the funeral. Not in the therapist's office. In the kitchen, with the onions or without them, at three in the afternoon when no one was supposed to see. The cry that comes without warning is often the one that has been waiting the longest.

Reflect on this

  1. 1

    What is a grief or frustration you have been quietly holding back?

  2. 2

    Where in your body do you store the things you haven't cried about yet?

  3. 3

    What do you think would actually happen if you let it out?
