I didnt watch the Notebook because I got so emotionally torn up reading the book, I didnt think I could handle watching it!

If God hadnt wanted us to cry then he would not have given us tears and feelings! Im so sorry about your husband, and I pray that sweet tears of joy will bust the flood gates from your eyes and that God will surround you with people to love you and encourage you. Forgive the person who 'scolded' you for being emotional, and ask God to fill you with the freedom to cry whenever you feel like it!Tracienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-13154107971081951342012-06-15T20:22:04.468-04:002012-06-15T20:22:04.468-04:00Oh Tracie, I too am a cryer. If there is a "...Oh Tracie, I too am a cryer. If there is a "moment" happening, everyone watches me for the tears to fall. I also watched as my baby girl graduated this year; each time I think of her leaving I cry both tears of sadness, I will miss her so, and tears of pride and joy as she is ready to leave our nest and begin a new adventure. Thank you for sharing these words of encouragement.

I wish I could take away the hardness and hurt you feel by a spiritual leader and his wife who have judged you in your grief. Even Jesus cried. And you can too.<br /><br />I recently read something about how Christians are expected to be "glad their loved one is with the Lord", which can put tremendous pressure on us. Yet, God knows our hearts and our hurts. Even in the joy of knowing our loved ones are now healthy and home, we still miss them and have our own sorrow.<br /><br />I'm praying for you. The loss of a spouse must be so very hard. I hope you are able to find the tears and begin your healing.

I was with my boys when they were much younger and even today they still tease me about it.... but is was so sad when it seemed that all of that little yellow guys friends were gone. Anyway now my tears are for all the things listed when my oldest graduated and now that my youngest will be a Senior. It just may be year when God needs a lot of bottles. And @Cindy there is no time limit on grieving. We are different and made just like God intended. <br />Blessings.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-91445097594603233222012-06-15T09:35:50.387-04:002012-06-15T09:35:50.387-04:00Me too!

Family members often glance over while we are watching a TV show or a movie just to verify that I am crying - not always an ugly, snotty cry (like when I watch "The Notebook") but tears, lump in my throat and sniffles. I come from a family that has a lot of folks who cry - guys and girls. God also needs a bigger bottle, bucket or barrel to catch my tears. Thank you for sharing this. <br /><br />Getting ready to cry this December at my youngest daughter's wedding and shortly after, the birth of my third grandchild, but know that there will be many more tears that flow before those big events -<br /><br />"Tears to you" Tracie - :o)bpsgrl89https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142021401100410367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-34824589371862938692012-06-15T09:22:28.775-04:002012-06-15T09:22:28.775-04:00Tracie I so understand.

Christmas seems to be the worst time of the year for me for tears, all the sappy commercials and especially the one where the brother comes home and makes the coffee!! I am relieved to know that I am not the only one in the world that cries over the diaper commercials!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153697575997921023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-88119080358903038402012-06-15T09:04:33.169-04:002012-06-15T09:04:33.169-04:00Oh how I wish I could cry!

Then I cried a lot the day my hubby died but was told by my new pastor I was grieving too long so I've held them for a year. I love that you have the freedom to cry! I do feel as though my heart is hard and unapproachable for fear of being scolded again!Joy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.com
