【推荐1】The shower, I find, is the best place to cry. The water covers the sound of my sadness, while washing away any evidence of my pain. I shower after the kids have gone to bed; it’s the only time I can be alone. I always did my best to protect my two children from my tears. If I needed to cry, I cried by myself.

Yet, I encourage my two boys to cry. My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school. “Oh, but you must cry,” I insist. “Crying’s good. It gets the sadness out. Never hold back your tears.” But then I did just that. What might it do to them to see their mother upset?

Then my father died, and there was no way I could schedule my grief and keep my feelings inside. The realization that my dad was actually gone hit me with an intensity that was impossible to cover up.

To my surprise, my boys didn’t seem too alarmed. They found me hiding in the bedroom one afternoon, weeping. “It’s OK, mommies get sad too,” I told them, smiling through my tears.

“Don’t be sad, Mommy. Grandad’s coming back as a baby,” my 7-year-old said, his tiny arm stretched across my shoulders. “Think about love,” he went on. “Think about all the people who love you.”

I realized that in hiding my pain, I was only denying what it means to be human. I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept, and not something they should possess. It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done.

We owe that to our children, according to social researcher Brene Brown. During her TED talk The Power of Vulnerability, Brown said, “it’s imperative that we should let ourselves be seen – deeply seen”. “Our job is not to protect our children, to keep them perfect,” said Brown. “Our job is to look and say, ‘You’re imperfect, and you’re made for struggles, but you are worthy of love and belonging’.”
