The holidays can reopen tender places, and the pressure to “hold it together” can feel unbearable. We lean into a different path: letting tears do their healing work. With warmth and clarity, we explore why crying is not a sign of weakness but a sign of love—and how it can bring real, measurable relief when grief feels suffocating.

We challenge the myth of a fixed timeline for mourning and from faith-centered lens, we see that Jesus also wept. We connect that spiritual truth to the body’s own design. Emotional tears can help release oxytocin and endorphins, the same feel-good chemicals that lower stress and ease pain. When the urge to cry builds, give yourself permission to release it, calm your nervous system, and create a little more room for hope.

Often, tears rise and recede like waves. There’s no set schedule for grief, and there’s no quota for tears. Some days you may weep; other days you may feel nothing at all. Both are normal. If the season feels heavy, consider this your invitation to be honest with your heart and your body.
