Letter to the Tender-Hearted Quietly Grieving Behind the Screen

“Transformed Tears” | Psalm 56:8 | Psalm 126:5-6 | Matthew 5:4

😭Letter to the tender-hearted quietly grieving behind the screen,

I want you to know and feel deeply in your heart that it’s OKAY…

…just to grieve.

It may be easy to feel the pressure to “solve” the pain by a positive perspective or hopeful words. To move on, to weep a few seconds and then re-focus elsewhere.

❤️‍🩹 But pain needs to be healed, not solved.

Not that words are bad. Or that positive perspectives are harmful. Words are needed, positive perspectives are a good thing.

💔But healing can mean just stepping away for a really good cry and sitting still in the pain. Feeling it. Letting it weigh.

😭It’s okay just to cry.

It’s okay to hurt. To really hurt.

To feel it.

To let God hold you.

So cry, tender heart.

Your tears are seen. ❤️‍🩹
