E21: I need to cry, but I can’t
A grieving woman whose mother died is struggling to show emotion, especially around her adult daughter.
Listen to This Episode:
Dear Grief Guide,
It’s been a year and eight months since my mom passed away. Since her death, I have only cried two or three times.
I have a 20-year-old daughter. I’m 58. I don’t want her to see me depressed, but she knows, and she even tells me that she understands and encourages me to express it.
I need to cry, but I can’t. I feel so tired, with no energy. I know I need to take out all the pain I feel and I don’t know how.
I miss my mom so much, but I need to be strong for my daughter. How can I handle this?
I hope you’ll answer my letter soon on your podcast.
Thank you so much.
Signed,
Brink of Tears
