It is OK to be sad.
Pixar nailed this one on the head in the movie, Inside Out.
Allowing ourselves, and the people we love, to be sad when we experience loss makes it possible for us to heal.
Sorrow acknowledges that something is wrong
and allows us to search for solutions.
It lets the people who love us know that we are hurting
so that they can help us.
Our sorrow is what makes us kind, compassionate,
empathetic people.
Whether you are a toddler who has lost a favorite toy, a teenager losing a friend or an older adult who has lost a spouse, the pain you feel is real. Being sad is how you deal with that pain.
It is ok to be sad.
Be sad as long as you need to. Let it heal you. When you are ready to be done being sad you will feel it and God will give you the grace you need to complete the healing process.
It is ok to be sad.
