Years ago, a very beloved woman passed away, and there was a countless band of social media posts from people saying that she knocked death in the face and that there was nothing to cry about, etc. This literally made me ill. I am so sick and tired of these “super Christians” who believe that if you cry, have grief, or show any emotion other than joy, then you are not a true Christian. Just stop.
If you lose a loved one, it is okay to cry. It is okay to say that you are heartbroken. It is okay to say that you are taking it one step at a time and you will be okay. Gosh. You don’t have to immediately step out with an “S” on your chest declaring how strong you are and that you are unpahsed. It truly makes you look heartless and unrelatable.
