To lose a friend to suicide is absolutely devastating. Sometimes when I need to cry someone inside "takes" the tears and won't let them come out. I know very well if I cry I'll feel better but they just won't come out. A long time ago I realized that the kind of sorrow that brings such heavy tears is emotion I was not allowed to express as a child safely. They laughed when I cried, made fun of me, made fun of my sister for the same thing. I think what keeps those tears locked up too is how vulnerable they make me when I cry so hard. To let down and let go leaves me open. It means my guard is down so I think in order to keep us safe one of me snatches my tears and holds them. The thing is, I'm not a vulnerable kid anymore. Tears can be healing, vulnerability can be too. We wish you peace of mind. Austin That’s a lot of loss in such a short period of time.

I'm thinking of you and sending you positive energy and the wish you can get through this crisis mode without disintegrating. Take care.
